    Hi,

    Sorry for answering my own post...

    I had a typo on .forward :(

    It seems to work. First I had my ISP email in the .forward...but duhh...It's
    better to just enter your regular user account name...and then it will
    forward it to that user's mail. Then I configured Kmail to check local
    mail..and it works :)

    Anyway...if anyone has better suggestions let me know.

    Jorge
