As Rex pointed out the closing was a bit premature and as Duncan pointed out 
it might be an indication that the application has no planned port to Qt5.

Well, KMail does not handle any transport, it provides an UI for handling 
messages.

There is an NNTP backend connector for Akonadi as far as I know, though it 
seems to be filtered out when adding "receive" accounts in KMail.
Must be a MIME type mismatch or something like that.
