Go to Configure / Accounts. Under Receiving select Add / Custom account and choose Mbox.
Under “File name”, type in the path to the file in /var/mail/ (browsing doesn’t work). Leave
“Display Name” empty.

An akonadi_mbox_resource_* entry is created. Select “Restart” on it, and ignore the error message.

Restart KMail. The entry should now appear as the mbox file name.
