From time to time Kmail on my Suse 9.3, KDE 3.5 frustrates me with the following information:

I have had the same issue as well, on Suse 10, KDE 3.5. That generally happens at the same time that Kinternet displays an icon reporting a broken connection. Even when the connection is back (and Kmail can download mail), output email still stays in the output box. I also noticed several kio_smtp processes running. The only solution I have found is to reboot. Then the pending messages are correctly sent.
You might try downloading mail first. This has worked for me in the past, when that happens. And do make sure it's a legal email address. -- Bob Rea mailto:gapetard@stsams.org http://www.petard.us http://www.petard.us/blog http://www.petard.us/gallery Freedom is only privilege extended unless enjoyed by one and all --Billy Bragg
