The Export to MBOX adds your mails to a file 'Inbox', which is mail
queue in mbox format. Just add this mailqueue to Kmail... I use
Evolution to aggregatemy mail.

The reverse is also possible. The trick is to get the outgoing mail from
Postfix into the ~/mail/Outbox directory in the right format. I do it
with a root cron job which runs every 5 minutes when the pskmail client
is running. The routine is called /usr/sbin/getoutmail.pl.
The crontab looks like:
root@dopey:~# crontab -l
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /usr/sbin/getoutmail.pl \
>> /home/rein/mail/maillog
So you see, we have thought of everything..
