The "normal mail port 25" to me is set up:
port 25 (duh)
requires authentication
remember password
on tab Security:
Encryption "None"
  Authentication Method "Login"

using a SSL:
port 465
authentication
remember password
on tab Security:
Encryption "SSL"
Authentication Method "Plain"

at the moment not using gmail/googlemail on Kmail but try port 587 if 
465 flunks.
