My resolution so far is to reboot. Neither a login/logout of the user, a restart of kdm/X has worked. This happens on several different machines with different versions of SUSE and KDE and kmail. All the same ISP with different user accounts. I haven't narrowed it down any more than this. It took quite a long time to get this far.
Hmm. Is nscd running? If it is, the next time it happens, try shutting it off (rcnscd stop) instead of rebooting
Looking further into my problem I tend to think that it is my ISP. Running the Network Kmail setup /receiving extras I found that if I used check what the provider wants (or something like that) it wanted to have APOP. Until now it was just plain text what was required. APOP (whatever that is) though does not seem to function properly because I receive following error message: Login via APOP failed. The server may not support APOP, although it claims to support it, or the password may be wrong. The server terminated the connection. I have not tried out other mail programs because up to now I am quit happy with Kmail.
