Sounds like you haven't properly set up the outgoing and incoming mail servers. With a dial-up modem, those should be SMTP servers, then dialog for setting is something like this: In Kmail, choose the menus: Settings - Configure Kmail - Network Then you'll have tabs you can click on for "Sending" and "Receiving". Start by clicking on "Sending," then "Add" (or "Modify" if you've set it up previously), the box for "Name" can be any name you like - Doc will do. "Host" is probably verizon.net (to judge from your Email address). Save that, then click "Receiving", again "Name" can be Doc, "Login" is your Email username (is it really "e.net"?), then "Host" once again is, I'm guessing, verison.net. Save that, and you're ready to roll. I assume you've got wvdial up and running, right? Personally, I like Evolution much better than Kmail, but that's your call. - Robert Storey in sunny, polluted Taiwan On Sat, 2002-06-01 at 08:45, doc wrote:
KMail is still not functioning properly.
It starts, but ... won't successfully send or receive -- complains that it cannot get to the server.
Same problem here at home via ADSL.
Why would the Web browser and YaST2 update have no problem but KMail have one with precisely the same two access systems (work: 56k modem via the network, home: ADSL).
BTW: What are you using for mail instead of KMail?
Thanks! doc
