I'm not familiar with KMail, but if "Prefix to Folders" is a reference 
to the folders on the IMAP server, you'll probably want to leave this blank.

you're running KMail on 'alfred' as well? it's not moving the mail from 
the /var/spool/mail/<user> file to somewhere else when you read it, is 
it?  that could also cause it to not appear on william during a check.
