Sorry for the non-threaded response, new spam filtering on the server
and well, things didn't go well... :(


I tried copying the info from the kmailrc file over to the new system,
but it never took.

Regardless of if I use the 'query tool' (which I assume you mean the
'Check What the Server Supports' command....It still comes back with
the fact that it cannot connect.

Fajar- Firewall is not running on the system I am trying to configure
to read mail. Firewall is only running on my firewall/router
system :)

As far as pop3... I don't like pop and haven't used that since like
1997. I know there's the whole 'leave the mail on the server' thing,
but that's not what I want to do. I need to be able to check ALL mail
(included messages moved to sub folders) from several locations:
office, laptop, and via the web.

Now just for experiment sake, I added a new account as a pop3 and
well...it sort worked. I get a "server certificate authenticity test
failed" message. I accept and my mail shows up in a subfolder. This
was a Plesk setup on the server, but it's no longer in use.

I do not get this message when trying to add/check mail for the imap
account. I think that is where my issue is. Is there some sort of
setting in the Security tab that I need to set to force it to check the
server certificate for IMAP setups?
