I too am a kmail user and just run an IMAP server local to my workstation.  
This regulates kmail to just another IMAP client (others can be used easily) 
and seems to be working well for me.  I use fetchmail and have configured 
dovecot to store all my mail in $HOME for backup, etc.

I don't know how Gmail handles this, but running your own IMAP server ensures 
mail is stored outside Akonadai and yet still local to your host for IP 
reasons.
