Connect to multiple kolab servers

[Bo Thorsen]

I found the solution to this one. In KMail, you can set the send account per 
identity, so I set up a second SMTP account and chose the right ones for my 
three identities, and sending is now completely covered.

I still think it's a KMail bug that it doesn't check more than one SMTP server 
by default, when the user has entered several, but at least I can avoid this 
issue now.
