Sounds like your IMAP client is believing that any file it finds in your
homespace is a mailbox file.  The razor-agent.log isn't something I'm
familiar with, but it'll be due to something else that you've done.  The
mbox file is where the basic "mail" program will store kept messages.

Welcome to the hell that comes with poorly thought out IMAP (clients and
server).  I find that when I use more than one IMAP client, I end up
with things like an inbox, and Inbox and an INBOX, all used separately
by the different clients.  Likewise with sent, Sent and sentbox,
multiple drafts and trash boxes.

You can try telling some clients to change their idea of which boxes to
use, but that sometimes means it'll delete a box rather than select one
and let you copy things over.  You can strike the same problems if you
try "unsubscribing" from a box (some remove, others just ignore the
file).  Or even worse problems when you try subscribing to mailboxes
(the client starts reading every single file in your homespace trying to
determine whether it's a mailbox or not).

Go through your configuration options for Kmail, and see if you can find
mailbox subscriptions, or words to that effect.
