There is, in fact you cannot send email through an IMAP server, you need an 
SMTP server. You can set this up in Kontact Touch, just like in Desktop 
Kontact. Look for Account for Sending Mail. (I don't have Kontact Touch handy 
right now, so can't give detailed instructions.)

If you've got further questions, there's the KDE PIM mailinglist where you can 
find support for Kontact and Kontact Touch specifically. You can reach it at  
kdepim-users at kde.org.

Cheers,
