The install of openSUSE iseasy enough for my Mom, yes.

And to remove te contradiction: No, she should not have to know about IMAP/POP3
etc. The wizard should know the right values that belong to her email-address.
It ain't hard to learn Kmail the biggest 10 e-mail services and their values
for noobies. Ifaik it will resolve the issue of knowing such values for 80% of
the home-users. Bussiness-users have their ICT-supportdesk to ask for some help
:P I don't know if it is possible to poll al server, but if that's possible we
could at least guess one time and propose the configuration.

The wizard is shown once, cause you are supposed to set up Kmail the first
time. Why should someone start Kmail twice without configuring it aka using it?

Good solutions do scale up. That's why I get a wizard since KDE 4.8 when
configuring Akonadi as a resource for contacts, first start of Amarok (where is
your music boy?) and Digikam. Every rogramm that needs to be configued before
use, should have an easy wizard that helps you setting the most important
values.

How come you see the wizard so often? I see it once every clean profile
(like:twice a year)
