On the rare occasions that I actually email from Gmail itself (and therefore 
using Gmail's SMTP) a copy comes down to my computer via POP3.  Normally, 
using Kmail, I do as Roger suggests and use my ISP's SMTP.  But from Kmail 
this is actually simpler than using Gmail's!  Tho' the reason I did it 
originally was that I was still also using my ISP based POP3 email, so it was 
simpler just to have everything use the same SMTP.  I'm glad that I am 
getting extra benefits!
