Hi,

just add a new "Maildir resource" and select a folder on your filesystem where 
the emails will be stored. Then add a new POP3 Resource and configure it to 
fetch emails into the newly added maildir resource. You can then add more 
folders to the maildir resource and configure you local mail filters in KMail 
to filter the POP3 incoming emails to the subfolders.
