[expert] Extending Timeout on kmail

[R_Yeo]

Hi,
        With kmail, I frequently get "Timeout while waiting for server"
error messages.  This is especially so when I'm not dialling in, but
accessing my mail from my work place.
        Does anybocy know where I can change the default values to
extend the timeout periods?  I think it probably means that I have to
recompile, but can anyone point me to where to start?

TIA
