[opensuse] kmail - only when I reboot
Hi All I'm running kmail on openSuSE 11.0. I find that I only get new mail when I restart my computer. If I check for new mail it doesn't report an error. It just says that there is no new mail. If I log out and then in again and check for new mail is says that there is none. When I reboot, I get mail from days ago. Anyone have any ideas about what's going on or a possible fix? Kmail version 1.9.9 (Using KDE 3.5.9 "release 49.1" openSUSE 11.0, 32-bit, pop3 email account) Thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Just a wild guess: when you installed your system, did you told yast what your pop3 account was? ls -l /etc/fetchmailrc chkconfig fetchmail If the second command answers "on", then issue "chkconfig fetchmail off". We'll think later where your mail has gone to - if that was the problem. If not, we'll think again :-) (Ok, if not, try loggin out and in to kde, instead of rebooting) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Thanks Carlos I'm not running fetchmail. I had tried logging out and in again as I mentioned above. That and other problems led me to give 11.1 RC a try. So far, okay, except I don't have a valid repository for my nvidia card for 11.1 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
