Port is 465 for smtp and 995 for pop.  I tried 587; the test email went 
to the Outbox.  Couldn't make connection with the server.  I am getting 
more convinced it is a kwallet problem.  And I cannot configure Kwallet, 
it says it is installed, but I can't find it.  I am going into my saved 
emails, there is a way to use something called 'locate', but I can't 
remember what to type in.  I saved an email about that.  Thanks everyone.
