I had her check the "server requires authentication" box and input her 
credentials.  We were rewarded with another KMail error, saying that "server 
does not support plaintext method."
When I hit the 'check what server supports' box, it didn't show us any of the 
authentication methods (not even plaintext).

BTW, all this is from on campus -- we haven't even tried the setup from home 
yet.
