Yes, you are right - I've been working with Windows all morning so my brain was dead <G>.

I figured you had but thought I'd ask.

just for the hell of it, I synced and ran emerge -uD world. This brought in 
xemacs-base, festival (which failed until I remerged speech-tools and it ran) 
poppler-bindings and transcode.
Kmail still failed. I logged into konsole as root and set up a brand new kmail 
profile using only one of my 2 email accounts. Kmail actually sent and 
email!!!!. I then closed root's kmail and opened as user. I deleted all 
profiles and account information and started fresh using the same address as 
I used for root. IT WORKED!! I then recreated my ntplx account. ALL IS WELL. 
I'll be damned If I know why but kmail seems (at least so far) to be fixed. 
Thanks to all for their patience and suggestions, even the people who told me 
(in a nice way) I didn't know what I was doing.

Glad to hear it's fixed!  Something must have been messed up in the profiles.

It's possible, though I don't think so. I believe I had deleted and recreated 
the profiles and accounts previously. I would be interesting to find what 
caused the problems in the first place.

Well, you do keep backups, don't you?  :)

Then diff an old .kde dir with your current one.
