Thanks for the hint. However I get a dbus error, which is unclear to me:

qdbus org.kde.kmail2 /TransportManager org.kde.pim.TransportManager.setDefaultTransport 2103849609
Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod
No such method 'setDefaultTransport' in interface 'org.kde.pim.TransportManager' at object path '/TransportManager' (signature 'i')

However asking for the methods shows it:

qdbus org.kde.kmail2 /TransportManager

...
method void org.kde.pim.TransportManager.setDefaultTransport(int id)

puzzled ...

Does it work for you ?
