Yes, what your server expects.  Does it use plain login, or some security like 
SSL?  Do you program kmail to send the login that you have on that machine - 
the username and password as the machine knows you?

Also, how do you address the machine?  In theory there is no reason why you 
can't use the format servername.network.ext - but in practice I've found it 
best to standardise on setting kmail to use the server's IP.
