The netstat output indicates that it's listening on all interfaces, not 
just localhost, so it should be usable from anywhere as long as you 
don't have a /etc/hosts.deny entry or firewall rule that is blocking 
access from anywhere else.

Is your kmail configured to use the pop server on localhost?
