I would like to run a POP3 server with TLS transport security such that a client must authenticate with a client certificate. (This shields the server from brute force password guessing attacks.)

How can I configure kmail2 (KDE 4.12.5) accordingly? There is no obvious (to me) configuration setting for client certificates.

If I understand your request I do not think this capability is currently supported by kmail2. At least that's the look of things according to these 2 tickets in the project's issue tracker.

It does support the following things:

  • Supports the standard mail protocols IMAP, POP3 and SMTP
  • Supports plain text and secure logins, using SSL and TLS
  • Native support for inline OpenPGP, PGP/MIME, and S/MIME

These bullets are right from the main website:
