Hi list, - this puzzles me.. - Kmail has started to pop up a dialog (warning) box uppon its first retrieval of mail (POP3) from certain accounts, saying: Couldn't complete LIST operation (Translated from danish..) - but only the first fetch. And (I think), I get all mail subsequently. - it's not just my PC (SuSE10.2) but others too (SuSE10 and even 9.3) - anyone seen this? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard Novell Certified Linux Professional 10035701 www.os-academy.dk +45 5696 4223 Denmark.

Yes. This has happened to me previously. What was happening in my case was that a particular message seemed to cause KMail grief and leads to that error. Only ever happened with POP accounts. I was not able to retrieve any messages in this situation. Other clients (like Thunderbird), or a webmail interface had no problems with the "problem" message. What I ended up doing was using Thunderbird to go through the new mail, delete those I didn't want, remark all of the new mail as unread and be sure to leave a copy on the server. After that KMail worked OK. Might be easier with webmail interface though. -- Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
