Hi BUGabundo,,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, eventually I was able to get the emails, but it 
happens often, and a simple KMail setting on SMTP (and POP3) connections, for 
the timeout, would solve the issue.

Most email clients have this by default, you are able to set the timeout 
period.

Possibly this needs to go as a feature request ?
