Which suggests the usual "dodgy because of a slow connection" theories won't 
fly.

One thing that would help immediately is a debug build of KMail, or a look at 
what debugging output it is producing. Try (Paul) starting KMail from a 
konsole to see if it has any debugging enabled. My hypothesis is some kind of 
interaction between the routing / connectivity information the kernel has, 
what the KDE connectivity monitor has, and what's *really* happening. I know 
I recently had trouble with KDE apps under SUSE because the KDE monitor was 
convinced I was offline even when I wasn't.
