I must be doing something dumb, but, I can't figure out what. I recently installed Linux 9.2. When I try to send email using kmail, I get a message that says that the system, can't connect to my mail server. It also says that the transport protocol used was 'jgraddy'. That happens to be my user name on the mail server. The transport protocol should be 'smtp'. I can receive email without a problem. My account is set up almost exactly as I have had it on Linux 9.0 for over a year. I have never had a problem there. The only difference (that I am aware of) in the setups is on the "Security" tab. Under 9.0 "Encryption" I had "None" and under "Authentication Method", I had "Plain". On 9.2, since there is no "None" under "Encryption, I have "SSL". I have "Plain" under "Authentication Method". I have the ports set to 25 for sending and 110 for receiving. Thanks, John
