That may be.

I was having the same problem for as long as I was using KMail in its 
stock MDK 9.1 release. Sometimes, it would happen each and every time 
I sent out an email and then it wouldn't happen for a while. I 
noticed some peculiarities. First, it happened most often when KMail 
was checking email at the time. Could it be that stock version of 
KMail has difficulty in multi-threading operations? Secondly, it 
happened more during typical 'business hours' (EDT). As a matter of 
fact, emails sent in my evening would go out immediately and in less 
than a second or two. Unfortunately, I still noticed the failure when 
KMail was checking POP3 accounts at the same time.

Last night I upgraded as much of KDE as I could to the latest in 
Texstar. Now, I am running version 1.5.3 of KMail. I love the subtle 
improvements (like highlighting misspellings) and that it seems to 
run a little quicker and smoother. Email have been going out 
immediately without that churning and waiting. If it was a bug, it 
would appear, at this early stage of use, that they may have solved 
the problem. 

Anyone have anything to add on the performance of the Texstar version 
over the stock MDK one?
