Sounds good so far.

Hm. What version of KMail are you using? 

I have three identities on my system. One is called Steve-RileyZ. I've 
associated that identity with a similarly named receiving account, as you can 
see in this screenshot (receiving account, Advanced tab):

No, I'm not sure KMail is smart enough do this. That's why these facilities 
exist to link accounts and identities. See next answer for sending account.

Continuing my example, I also have a sending account with the same Steve-
RileyZ name. I've associated that sending account with my identity, as you can 
see in this screenshot (identity, Advanced tab):

Take a look at my screenshots and see if you can duplicate similar settings. 
Let me know how it works for you.
