I'm pretty sure this is a 3.5 -> 4.x migration bug.

Unfortunately, this is something we can't fix in the KMail code.  The 3.5 KMail
versions are broken when it comes to saving passwords containing a '!' (and
some other special chars).

When migrating to the 4.x versions of KMail, I recommend going into the
settings and changing your account password to a temporary that doesn't contain
the '!'.  Then go back into the settings and change the account password back
to the one containing the '!'.

This should work.. if not, then try removing the account entirely and then
re-create using the '!' password.

Would some kind person feel like putting this hint on the KMail UserBase page?
