Now the post is at kde-pim, but the listID is still kmail-devel. Sorry
guys, I dug around in kmail to check where I can hack the header, but
nothing was found.

I use  a filter to a seperate folder, but there is always unwanted mail
that makes it through the filter. To do a post filtering, it would be
nice if the filtered text is highlighted. That way obscured sections of
interest can be picked out.  

I'll add it as a wish to bugs.kde.org

As mentioned. The authentication is TLS. The server says at checking
that only TLS is supported with clear text passwords. This
authentication is also used with Evolution and works.With TLS authentication I 
get the following error messages:

POP3:
Could not connect to host Your POP3 server claims to support TLS but 
negotiation was unsuccessful. You can disable TLS in KDE using the crypto 
settings module..
IMAP:
Starting TLS failed.

When set to SSL1
POP3:
IMAP:
Could not connect to host mail.foo.bar.

When set to None
POP3:
Could not login to mail.foo.bar.
The server said: "only valid after entering TLS mode"
IMAP:
LOGIN is disabled by the server.

In which version was this fixed?

Best regards,
