In the original post my problem started by accidently entering the word "hello"
in the Cc: field and trying to send.  Kmail would continually try to deliever
this message to a user "hello" on my local machine and would prevent me from
sending new messages.

I was able to get kmail working by creating a dummy user named "hello".  Then
in kmail under file I selected "Send Queued".  The message "re-try ... not
found" was successfully delivered and I am now able to send messages once
again.  

Regards
Matthew
