Hello SuSE people. Former thread was "apt-get, dependencies, Help! Anyway, after the kind helpof this list, and especially Joe, I got all of the packages to install. To my great surprise kde3.2.1 was included. Did the usual recommendations of deleting mcop, ksocket, in /tmp and my home directory. Problem is with kmail. It will not allow me to send a message. Downloads mail just fine. When I try to send a mail I get a message similar to this: Authentication failed. You probably have an address or password incorectly configured. Server responded Command unrecognized. And then at the bottom of this notification is a staement saying, transport protocol used was rnr. That last part seems weird to me. rnr is my usual email name. Anyway, I tried reconfiguring the smpt section of kmail about a 100 times trying to find out what is wrong. Nothing worked, thusly I am sending this mail from a windoze machine. Anybody else have this problem? And I hate to keep asking but I sure could use some help with this. Bob S.

Reading your post I see "SMTP" typed as "SMPT" -- I made that error once and it took another set of eyes to pick it up because I was "sure" I had everything entered perfectly! Just thought I'd share one possibility. -- dcolburn ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your journey with God continues here ...

Bob, Did you try another email program? That would help you determine if the problem is kmail or your server at least. If it's kmail, then you will probably need to remove or rename the config files in your /home/yourname/.kde/share/apps or config for kmail. Also check your mail directory.

Bingo !!!!! Who would have thought it. Changed "Plain" to "Login" All is well with the world again. Just don't understand how these things happen, and why, and better yet why we don't know about it. Thank Goodness for this wonderful list and all of the talented knowledgeable people on it, Again, thanks Johan, and all of the others who replied to me. Bob S.
