kmail and imap: something stucks
by Henk Weebers 25 May '05

25 May '05

Hi list members, Till last Sunday I used kmail. I collect my mails over imap protocol. But occasionally it took a time to finish looking up. Now it will not finish anymore. :'( This mail to you is written with Mozilla Thunderbird. I have no complains about Thunderbird. So, something is wrong with Kmail. At Sunday kmail couldn't find $HOME/Mail in ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc due to not finding $HOME and stopped. Still the command "echo $HOME" gives me the right answer. I changed $HOME to /home/<user>. A third problem is that I cannot switch desktop to a second user. Now, these are three problems of which I can't oversee if there is a common disturbing factor. How can I make repairs? Henk

Editing Kmail address list
by James Mohr 24 May '05

24 May '05

Hi All! When composing an email, I can click on the "Select" button to choose an address list. One entry says "0 email addresses" and I would like to remove it. However, I cannot find a way to remove it. I looked through the online Kmail doc, but did not find anything about this. I also tried googling, but I couldn't come up with anything useful. So, I was hoping that someone else hat a clue about this. Thanks in advance.

Kmail will not start up and gives an error.
by Henk Weebers 24 May '05

24 May '05

Last Sunday kmail stuck in searching mails in a map. So I asked that window to close the kmail application. With success. But after restarting kmail, I got an error that Kmail couldn't make the map $HOME/Mail. Off course that map is present and contains the existing mails. The same error exists on all other users. What could be wrong? Henk

You must go into the config and set it up for your stations. Also, after setting the place in Weather Service, I had to go to Display and select the location again. No call letters to be set with this one now. Strange thing this time, when I changed the locale to US I had to reboot to get it to take the new settings. Must be a windows app now. Richard Thanks Richard, seems restarting fixed it, sounds like windows for sure.

SuSE 9.2 - Kopete can't log in to MSN
by Lars Haugseth 20 May '05

20 May '05

Since a couple of days ago, Kopete could no longer log in to the MSN instant messaging network. According to this message, the problem has been fixed: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/linux.debian.devel.release/browse_threa… Indeed there's a thread on the suse-linux-e list about fixing this by compiling the SVN version of Kopete, but this will only work in KDE 3.4, which I haven't installed. Is there an updated RPM available for SuSE 9.2 w/KDE 3.3, or any other method to get this to work? -- Lars Haugseth

Suse 9.3 Wireless Tool
by Ken Kapptie 19 May '05

19 May '05

I have been a little frustrated with my laptop running XP and Suse 9.3. XP of course sees and uses the Orinoco device on my SRX99 Sony perfect. I had the wireless working briefly on the Suse side but now it is now. Does anyone know of a good utility to install to at least see what available wireless networks are available? -- Ken Kapptie kappter(a)gmail.com (801)209-5262
