I don't understand your question, what do you mean by "proper".
Originally I set the default as my main ??@mypostoffice.co.uk smtp 
account. However when I wished to use a googlemail account to send a 
message, the transport protocol would still default to 
@mypostoffice.... and the message would fail to get sent. I even 
remember many occasions that I selected a googlemail transport 
protocol, and hit re-send, yet the default @mypostoffice.co.uk 
returned. This version of kde and kmail is the first encounter I have 
had with transport protocols and these associated prpblems. All I did 
in the past was enter each of the smtp accounts that I wanted to use, 
and then select the appropriate email address to use them.
