Has anyone succeeded in using kmail with gmail?
I've changed my gmail settings to allow POP3,
and am able to get my mail with 
"fetchmail --ssl pop.gmail.com".
But I don't see any way to tell kmail to use SSL.

Any advice or suggestions gratefully received.

Yes, confirmed to exist here on a version as old as 1.5.1...

To be perfectly honest, I recall having some problems with SSL before.
Encryption worked with most clients, but not KMail. It works now, but I can
remember why...

Yes and there was nothing special but SSL. ;-)

If I remember right you only have to change the default port from 110 to
995 on network page/ receiving. SSL should be activated (via 'Check
what the server supports').

There is an option within kmail (well v 1.7.1) to check what the server
requires, when you enter the account details for sending click on the
security tab and at the the bottom of the windows is a button that says
"Check what the server supports"

Eencrytion is TLS
Authentication is Plain
