I have embarked on the journey to imap on 2 or 3 occasions here, but have 
totally failed to make kmail, running as a normal user, even find the imap

There needs to be an 'Imap for big dummies' book written I guess.

Just because the message may never be received does not mean it is
not worth sending.
