fetchmail vs kmail

Greetings;
Due to a long standing bug in kmail that causes it to quit fetching
new mail occasionally, I've been doing the fetch with fetchmail.
Is there any way I can tell kmail there is new mail so that both are
not fighting over the /var/spool/mail/root file? I think there have
been some instances where one or the other had a lock, and I'm
missing an email from time to time.
This is something that would be a piece of cake on my old now dead
amiga, I'd just use arexx to send it a message, thereby achieveing
synch between the apps. Now in linux I think dcop is the tool, but
no idea how to go about using it. There are no manpages for it.

Cheers, Gene
