I currently have a working setup I like that uses fetchmail and procmail. I
thought of moving to kmail since it can do a few things that annoy me with
sylpheed. Is it possible to use kmail with a local maildir folder that is
handled be procmail and fetchmail or do I need to move everything into
kmail (which pretty much rules it out in such a case)?

Kmail does not have to be the pop client. Fetchmail fetches, procmail does its
thing, taking care of spamassassin and clamav, and exim places in /var/mail
directories. Kmail can then retrieve the mail from there.

Kmail can call the spamassassin and clamav itself. However, it is not
programmed correctly (these need be done on background threads) so it becomes
"disabled" until everything is done. That is why I switched.
