I was still trying to force it to use $HOME/Mail/friends/mail as the folder 
path though, that may have had something to do with it.

Okay, thanks for testing that.

The method you have used for testing, does it rely on it all being setup with 
that kind of structure/heirarchy though ?

Could it be run with
KDEHOME=$HOME/Mail/friends kmail

and also does changing KDEHOME affect any other KDE apps that are running, or 
is it a value/setting that is only current for that session ?
