https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=287761#c4 --- Comment #4 from Mike Wells <mike_wells@cox.net> 2007-06-29 18:40:54 MST --- Well Jeff, I thank you for your input, however, WE are NOT mind readers out here (you have to remember, mind reading IS NOT free!). How are we supposed to know that you guys are off doing something else? You just might try putting a very VISIBLE message area on the home page of the openSUSE website so that we can be informed as to any goings on that might preclude us from getting a response in a reasonable amount of time. BTW, this exact same thing has happened to me before but it was a different bug, assigned to a different person, and he went off to some different thing for a couple of weeks AND never bothered to communicate that to me until things became REAL heated. Now come on; you people supporting (in one way or another) openSUSE expect EVERY last detail from us out here, but, (it appears) after 3 years of using this OS that the communication issue is a one-way street as far as you guys are concerned. Fact. Period. I fully realize that the vast majority of you give up your free time and work for free to support this distro... but you know what? that really does not cut any ice for the end user when there is no professionalism involved. All of you are in the 'know' so to speak and we are out here in the 'cold'. Think about that for a few minutes! Enough said about the communication issue. On to the problem; I did exactly what you suggested; Settings -> Configure KMail -> Accounts -> Modify -> Extras and the following radio buttons were checked: Encryption; None, Authentication Method: Clear text. I clicked on 'Check what the server supports' and nothing changed as far as radio buttons so I did not even bother to try and retrieve my mail. Well, about 24 hours later, I thought what the h___, and I gave it a shot. All of my email addresses were working. Now I knew from the get go that any change previous had to be on the end of my POP3 server (and I stated that in the original bug report). Did the server guys back out the changes? Did KMail gather 'new' data for the same radio buttons? Had my data become corrupt for some reason? We will never know the answer to these questions but KMail and the POP3 server are once again coexisting nicely. Will I stay with Thunderbird? Probably. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
