--- Comment #3 from Kwanza.Pili at virginmedia.com ---
I have changed to kmail version 5.7.1 (KDE 17.12.1) and the problem persists. I
think the following error messages might point to the source of the problem:
---
kf5.kio.core: Refilling KProtocolInfoFactory cache in the hope to find "smtp"
org.kde.pim.mailtransport: Transport with this ID not managed by transport
manager.
---

I figured out that kmail uses the proxy server to reach SMTP servers, and mine
(squid) was blocking this from going through. So I had to add a whitelist of
servers to the squid configuration: e.g. 
---
http_access allow whitelist
http_access allow CONNECT whitelist
---
where whitelist is the acl for the servers. This might be potentially risky,
but it is the only workaround I could find.
