Thanks for your effort, KMail really needs tooltips and what's this help.
As you said, this needs to wait until after 4.2.0, please post again then.

Some nitpicks I found:

- Some of the strings contain a lot of HTML junk. I think we have a script 
somehwere that cleans this up, maybe this is included in fixuifiles from 
kdesdk?

- "Enable this, if you...": There should be no comma here, or at least be 
consistent with the rest (you have the same string without comma as well).

- Please capitalize KMail (not kmail)

- "Enable this if you want to check this account when clicking on "Check mail" 
in kmail's toolbar.": The action can also be activated from the menu and from 
shortcuts, no only from the toolbar. And for "Check Mail": Instead of adding 
quotes here, you should use semantic markup, see
