Well Sven,thank you for remining me about which list is proper tp post to but you see, I do not have an issue with kmail on KDE3, It runs just fine there. The issue is running it on KDE4.9. Ergo this is probably the correct list. Maybe you didnlt read or understand my posting for help,
I understand that you are using unmaintained and hence unsupported software and you are mixing it with KDE4. And you wonder why you get into trouble with that.
Or to put it differently, running KDE3's kmail in KDE4 is not supported. If it works, that's fine, if not ask those that provided the unmaintained software to you -> opensuse-kde3.
So tell me, when 4.9 says It cannot start process pop3, what does it mean and how do I fix it?
By not using unmaintained software. It's as simple as that.

"By not using unmaintained software. It's as simple as that." answers "How do I fix it?" but not"What does it mean?" Knowing what an error message means is an important part of understanding how things work. Unfortunately I cannot answer that question either. Sven is definitely a greater authority than myself on this (or most any other) subject, but after spending days fighting to move from the kmail1 system to an often aggravating kmail2 (which I am sure will continue to improve) I can completely understand the desire to stick with what works. I am not sure of the specifics, but I strongly suspect the messages you are receiving are related to akonadi. Running kde4 w/out akonadi is like listening to the a high end stereo w/ earplugs, you will miss much of the benefits. But who am I to tell you what is best for your needs. If I was committed to using kmail1 on kde4, then I would disable/uninstall as many akonadi/nepomuk related packages as possible. Then I would disable whatever cannot be uninstalled due to dependencies. I would also be sure that all of the kdepim resources were all of the same version. Whether you choose to try this is your call (and responsibility) BTW, I finally made the move to kmail2 in June because I recognized that the migration tools were not going to improve any further, (and I have no skill to improve them unfortunately). For (openSUSE) kde users kmail1 is a dead end. Most other new distributions will also not support it at all in the near future, so migrating now will save future frustration. The only reliable way to stick with kmail1 at this point is to choose not to take advantage of the benefits received by upgrading, and to choose a distro oriented towards LTS releases. (I would also point out that migration to thunderbird is probably not worth considering either according to recent statements from the mozilla foundation) see ya dh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
