For t-online you can use anything as USER/PASS - at least from the POP3 server standpoint. you can even say "foo" and "bar" or something. IIRC the POP3 server answers with something like "you don't need to specify USER/PASS". Maybe this confuses kmail.
As I don't have T-Online I can just speak of my memory.

T-Online has some idea of single sign on. You dial in their network and you can send and receive email without further authentication. 

So I think there are basically two solutions:
1. Work around that "you don't need" message.
2. Change the definition of user/pass to be optional and/or empty. And therefore don't try to login for no user/pass and send empty for empty user/pass - this would solve bug 14920, too
