I think, after another 45 minutes on hold, that I have it sorted, I can
at least send myself a msg at the gheskett(a)shentel.net address. Its
address is smtp.shentel.net, port 587, TLS. Very quick response now.
Now it is time to ask kmail, in its next resurection, to marry the smtp
account to the folder kmail is currently looking at, by allowing that
choice to be set in the individual folders prefs.
Historically, if 2 send accounts have been configured, it randomizes
which one it uses, and the "sticky" checkboxes have been just decorators
like a boar hog comes equipt with. So having 2 sending choices was far
more trouble because the mailing list servers will not accept the
alternate address or ID's. And the bounce may take 3+ days to come
back! In the meantime the user, me, is fat dumb abd happy thinking the
recipient did get the msg.
Hell of a way to run a train.
Thanks Lisi.

I can ping this server
What server? You haven't named it. I can ping lots of servers, but
they are not all smtp serevers. Pop3 servers are not necessarily smtp
servers. Have you checked the name of the required smtp server?
Is it not possible to ask them for full login info via say email? You
are managing to email us. I too hate waiting for machines, with
something plugged to my ear.
You need (egg time):
Smtp server name (bear in mind that this may be different from the
pop3 server name)
port number
security info
password (which you hopefully have).
