 For what its worth I had seen similar things back in fedora 7 ... my
best advice is as follows:

 1) Do not use kmail or any mail client to actually store your local
mail - ever.

 What I do is run a local imap server (dovecot) and keep all mail there.
Once its up just use kmail to copy all your existing local stored mails
to the imap server.

  I suspect you'll find those 'dummy stub mails' will not be copied -
even if something does  you should be able to delete it as it is now on
imap server (using kmail or any other mail client for that matter).

 2) Exit kmail, mv your .kde/share/apps/kmail to a backup area and
restart and reset up your kmail. Now that your local store is imap this
will be a breeze.

  Plus you now can easily try or switch to other mail clients if you
ever want to without worrying about moving local stored mails.
