I'm no C++ expert, but from a bit of grepping in src/kdepim/kmail , it looks 
like the POP seetings dialog has code like this:

  mServerTest->setPort( encryptionType, mPop.ui.portEdit->value() )

where it is setting the port based on the value in the UI.

On the other hand, the smtp equivalent (eg in AccountWizard::smtpCapabilities) 
just has :

  mTransport->setPort( useSSL ? 465 : 25 );

ie the port number is hardcoded to 465 or 25 depending on whether SSL is 
requested or not and it doesn't refer to the port number selected manually in 
the text box in the UI at all.

Am I on the right track here?

Looks like there is similar  stuff for Imap (eg: account->setPort( useSSL ? 993 
: 143 );) so anyone trying to use a non-standard port is out of luck.
