Can't really help since I gave up on Kmail years ago, but you might
want to mention at least what kind of account this is (POP, IMAP, ...)
as it could make a difference.
Why do you think the KDE list isn't working? I haven't noticed any
problems (though there doesn't appear to be any traffic on it today).

Just out of curiosity, what mail client do you use? For umpteen zillion years,
I have been an old-fashioned pine/alpine user, and I'm very happy with it. But
the text/ssh thing is getting less and less sufficient.
I normally ssh to a virtual machine I have rented as my mail and web server,
and read mail in a terminal. I'm very happy with this, mostly because there's
little chance I'll accidentally download something bad. It's hard to pervert
ascii text. And, mostly, I don't need to see whatever cute graphics and
banners people add to their emails -- at least the ones I get.
But... I'm having to deal with images and attachments more and more that I *do*
want to see. In order to view the attachment and all I have is pine, I have to
download it on to the Chicago machine, then sftp it to my laptop, and then open
it manually. I have in the past set up vnc to so everything on the server, but
I'm just not enthusiastic about opening attachments or using a browser on my
server. If I open an attachment, I want to do it on my laptop.
So, I set up roundcube on the server, and that allows me to retrieve
attachments more easily. I'm reasonably happy with that.
But I've been thinking about setting up a "real" client. I tried Kmail, and it
"kinda" worked, but it's hassle factor seemed a bit high. I have about 15 specialty mail
addresses (e.g. one each for different professional organizations, addresses for family members, a
couple of throwaways for shopping, etc), and it seemed that *one* of them always had a glitch in
KMail.
