Enabling "Send messages in outbox folder on check" is not a good solution since it \
indeed *sends* when you just want to *receive*. What we need is an option "SMTP after \
POP" that just logs into the POP3 server *without* downloading any mails before \
trying to send any mails.

I was able to simulate the needed functionality in a quick hack.
Now I can use the German service provider STRATO who needs "SMTP after POP".

In kmailrc:

[Transport 1] 
precommand=/opt/pop-login

and the script /opt/pop-login:

#!/usr/bin/expect -f
# POP login script for SMTP-after-POP
# by probono
spawn telnet post.webmailer.de 110
expect -timeout 80 "OK POP3"
send "USER XXXXX\n"
expect "+OK"
send "PASS XXXXX\n"
expect -timeout 5 "+OK"
send "QUIT\n"
expect "+OK"
close

of course, you have to replace the mailserver and the XXXXX with your \
username/password.

It would be very nice if this could be "cleanly" integrated into KMail.
