I have similar issue very often and the latter option has been the solution. 
This has mostly occurred for around my laptop going into suspend. i.e. this 
problem seems to occur mostly when kmail attempts to connect just after a 
resume when a network connection is still to be established. Once the network 
connection is established kmail still does not continue. May be the 
connection times out after a while but my patience is shorter and i cancel 
the connection. Kmail re attempts connection and things work fine here on.
