I didn't think of 'fetchmail' as an email _client_. you don't use it

I thought the original suggestion then wasn't to _replace_ kmail with
fetchmail but to have kmail read the mail fetchmail has downloaded.
perhaps I misunderstand.
I have no idea if it would solve the problem - I haven't read the bug
report.

Yes, I wanted to suggest that as a workaround one could use fetchmail to
download the mails, procmail for local delvery and kmail for reading and
writing.
But some users have strong objections against a daemon fetching their mail, so
maybe an other client gives a better feeling ... where one has to keep in
mind that changing from maildir to mailbox format bears its own pitfalls like
loosing any mail in one dark black moment ;-)

You mean
it's a *known* bug?!
Do you have a bug report reference number, please?
Re. Fetchmail, I was trying Trinity solely for KMail's freedom from
Akonadification, and I shall stay with KMail for the time being, though
- for the time being - not in Trinity.
Oh, it's quite an old bug:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127696
http://forum.mandriva.com/en/viewtopic.php?t=79231
as in my case, my email provider "updated" his software and I had to work
around.
Anyway, there are some other nice email clients around if you do not want
to go the fetchmail road.
