Hi Billie
I would like to make a suggestion.
Please, bear with me if what I say is unclear.
I am typing this at work using WinNT4 so cannot use "hands on examples"
Hopefully someone else on the list will expand/clarify.
How about trying to telnet to your mail servers?
I think the following links will guide you on testing your
connection to your mail servers.
And hopefully, any problems will provide more meaningful/clear error
messages

Hi Billie,
"W32" is short-hand for Windows 32-bit "
Start>Programs>MS-DOS... type ipconfig to dispay current
machine IP settings.
type exit and hit <return> when done to close the DOS window
Have you corrected your pop & smtp email server entries? Is
KMail working
now? I thought you'd already compared these settings
against the other
systems...
