Where is logging and debugging for kmail located? No debug option on command line available?

Look in ~/.xsession-errors.

Randall, nothing appears there while running kmail and trying sending the queued messages. Any other points where kmail logs to? Juergen -- ++ Juergen Lennefer -- Sun Microsystems -- Germany ++

Randall,

No. That's it.

If all else fails, use lsof on the command line:

lsof -p <PID of kmail> | grep -e 1w -e 2w

Or this: lsof |sed -n -e '1p' -e '/^kmail/p' |egrep ' [0-9]+[wu] +REG' This frees you from having to first ascertain KMail's process ID and will show all plain files it has open for writing or for both reading and writing. Nonetheless, this isn't going to tell us anything we don't already know. KMail keeps mailbox files and the .xsession-errors file open for writing and if it's going to report any kind of error or status, it's going to the latter. The problem the OP is experiencing does not rise to the level of an error. It's probably just a misconfiguration. Juergen's problem:

I've the same problem. Kmail denies to send any mail when I'm connected via VPN to my company network, Mozilla does. Proxy setting are the same as I'm running squid on my localhost and all browsers and mailclients uwe localhost:3128 for alle connections. So I'm searching for any debugging possibilities to see, what kmail is doing. Also the start of kmail in konsole does not give much more messages.

may have something to do with security settings. Juergen, when you set up the problematic mail account in KMail, did you configure the settings in the "Security" tab of the "Sending" account you created for this mail server? Settings (menu) -> Configure KMail -> Accounts -> Sending (tab) Select the account that's giving you trouble, click the "Modify..." button and then go to the "Security" tab of the resulting dialog. Now click the "Check what the server supports" button and when it's done, confirm these dialogs and try sending mail again.
