Curious kmail question

[Timothy Murphy]

I've been wondering how to sync kmail on my desktop and laptop(s),
and decided in the end to use nfs,
exporting my ~/Mail/ directory on the desktop
to the laptops.

This works fine, except that kmail is unable to get new mail
from /var/spool/mail/ as it did on the desktop.
[All my email, from various sources, arrives there.]

I guess I could export this as well -
but is there any other (simple) solution?
