Will,Thanks for the offer of help. I am using the "detect automatically" 
function. Not sure what you mean when you say "click the Add Button"

Yes, checking that file shows that KMail is writing to it.

OK, did that. The changes are being written there. Unfortunately when I close 
out "X" and log in again the changes seem to have disappeared. Have no idea 
why. As I mentioned in the other thread, when I reverted to KDE 3.4.2 this 
problem went away so I never pursued it further. 

I apologize for my boorish behavior in not replying to you. Hopefully this 
problem will have "gone away" with 3.5.2  I am somewhat trepeditious of this 
though, hence my question about 3.5.2
