I'll give the dovecot list time and hope that someone there can guide me.  
It's a confusing business :-)  I do hope that I can get it working then write 
up what was needed.  It looks to me as though the kde docs are fine if you 
use exactly that setup, but lacking if you don't.  If I can succeed I'll 
write up the difference for a dovecot server.

At the moment I would only be able to add the bit about getting sasl working 
with dovecot and postfix, in place of the cyrus instructions.

So this would be your normal kmail username and password?  I wonder what it is 
expecting for the email address - a local address, I presume?  I'm very 
confused about this.  I know how to use postfix transport for local emails, 
but I'm sure this is something different.

OK, thanks.  I'll have another go, based on what you've said.
