It is.  You have a simple configuration problem.  If you won't ask for help 
and tell us what you have done to set it up, we won't be able to help you.

KMail has its faults, but it's still been my favourite since 2002 - and yes, I 
have tried others.  None can touch kmail.

If you want help, say so.
