Kmail stores the mails in the format you preffer. mbox is the oldes plain
text mail format from the dawn of the email services. It writes all mail in
one file. Later Maildir and other formats (see DB-Mail where email is
stored in mysql db) were introduced to cope with the increasing email
volumes.
For local storage nowdays it is sufficient to use Maildir (IMO). For admin
mail perhaps most simple to use mbox as you do not expect too much mail
from a single system and you can remove now and then the oldest.

You can google Maildir and find out what features it provides (ex. better
indexing).
