--- Comment #1 from stakanov at freenet.de ---
Now the good news is, that this is not a question of the specific symbol set.
The bad news is that the whole kmail function that is: filter mail, password
setting and integration with kwallet is broken. 
I did check another account and found it had been in the same situation. So
this is probably some duplicate, I should actually rename it as: kmail does not
warn on failure in checking popmail. Kmail does not store the password
correctly even if previously erased, only if inserting a bogus password, saving
it and then setting the original password, the latter will be retained and the
account activated. The only way to currently check if a pop account does work
correctly is to send to all accounts a test-mail. Where this does not arrive
the procedure has to be carried out. 
Filters appear to be broken, when this happens, the info bar shows "mailfilter"
as static and always visible. Mail will of course not be filtered. When setting
up a pop account and wanting to tell the filter where to store the mail of this
personality, a direct creation of a new folder in local mail is not possible.
Either one creates a subfolder in an existing account, or one has to do it
before setting up a new personality, as "local mail folder" is greyed out, 
As there are a lot of duplicates around I would guess that is part of 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=255388, or of any other filter things. In
alternative it might be a duplicate of:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=295098 on kwallet integration. 

May I just say the program seems still quite broken and leave you with sincere
seasonal greetings.
