Are you trying to use an MTA to send? If not then the fact that you can
send using 'mail' is not relevant.
Check kmail's preferences. There is usually a setting like 'keep
messages in queue', and kmail will not (try to) send them until you use
the Send/Receive (or whatever it is called) button.

P.S. Sorry for suggesting trivial stuff, but you didn't provide enough
info so I'm just guessing.
