My apologies if it appears I want to waste people's time. That is not the case. I had been trying for some time to get into Yahoo using Kmail and could not connect... even using suggestions from Yahoo's help and FAQs. So, I posted my request.
I kept pecking away at the problem. Apparently I pecked the right place and was able to "knock on the door." When I read Yahoo's note to me I went back on line to explain what I had learned... and to read your suggestion.
I followed your suggestion to look into sourceforge and fetchmail... now I am back here and find this note from you.
Again, my apologies - I am still trying to learn this thing called linux and not return to MS... there are still a lot of things I need to learn... * accessing my digital camera * being able to use my scanner * being able to record audio input (from old LPs) * being able to burn CDs * how to d/l and install programs that are tar.qz * how to customize the system and not just use off the shelf stuff etc., etc., etc.
Anyway, thanks for your information -- and I have no desire to waste anyone's time... (My wife sure things I am wsting a lot of my time.)
Try not to take things personal. Many people that have been on this list a long time see the same questions asked over and over. The usual reply will be to use google or search the archives (a link is at the bottom of every email from this list). Some people that have been on the list a long time or are long time users of SuSE tend to forget that there are a lot of new users that just don't know where to look yet. I was new to SuSE once and asked a lot of questions at first until I learned where to look. And doing your own homework will tend to teach you more than simply relying on the list for answers. -- Ken Schneider unix user since 1989 linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998 (5.2) Cape Coral, FL
