Yes, I have tried that, too, and it still didn't work.

Maybe there is something going wrong with making settings.  I found I was also 
unable to send any outgoing messages with this test-account, and after logging 
in and back out, it suddenly worked.  I have also received notifications while 
kmail wasn't even open.  Of course, I can't relog every time when changing a 
setting ...

In the end, I my might end up leaving the messages on the server and use IMAP.  
I found out that I have sufficient storage space on the server, so it would be 
possible.
