This turned out to not be a kmail2 problem at all, but was a SELinux problem.  I had apparently turned off
being notified of procmail AVCs, and procmail was being prevented from delivering the mail.  I logged into
a console instead of a gui while a set of Fedora update notices was being delivered, and the terminal was 
flooded with procmail AVC messages (which later were not in audit.log).  After relabeling the mail directories
as a type that procmail can write to, now mail is being delivered as it should.
