How do I send an email?

Following all the completely clear directions works fine with KDE3. But, unfortunately, I've installed KDE4.
The KDEWallet absolutely insists upon interfering with passwords, whether I like it or not. If I don't use it,
things will not work correctly and if I do use it, I have to type passwords all the time. Very, very, very tiresome.
Anyway,. right now I am using KMail because Thunderbird is so strongly discriminated against and I've now
changed all my archives to KMail. It worked okay with 3.5, but now I'm on 4.0. I have eight emails in
the "Outbox" and no matter what I do, KMail thinks about it, then re-inserts the things into the outbox.
No clue as to why. This is done silently. I've configured both smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com and smtp.gmail.com.
Neither works. This totally sucks big time. If there is some configury issue, FOR GODS SAKE PLEASE
emit a useful error message. I am about to spend several hours re-installing with KDE3 just to get around
this accursed email config problem. Unless there is some undocumented way of deciphering why KMail
silently refuses to send email.
