kmail retrieves e-mail from a local /var/mail/$username account just fine. From the menubar: Settings ---> Configure KMail ---->click on Network ----> Add an account (for sending use either smtp or sendmail, whichever works for you) Click on receiving and click the "local mailbox" radio button and click apply. In the "receiving" tab select the new account, choose Edit and select FCNTL as the mailbox locking device. Click Apply again and OK and go get your local mail.
