Hi, Linux newbies here again. (Please signpost us elsewhere if this is not a correct forum or link to ask these questions. We don't know.) We are experiencing since 6th Dec 05, continuing difficulties configuring KMail. (We got lot of helpful advice from kde@xxxxxxxxxxxx and individual subscribers) We are sending this email from this recently registered free googlemail.com account having previously used our ISP's btopenworld.com {yahoo mail interface) email facility until the 'REPLY' and 'FORWARD' buttons ceased to work on it from Konq., {and with KMail; only the 'RECEIVE' function.] ( Cc to our own ISP email address:{"belt & braces"] ) This new googlemail.com account explains that "Your webrowser may not be fully supported" - "Click here to learn more", on doing so we find suggested alternative browsers with free webrowser download offers for MS, Mac & 'LINUX. Mozilla'. [Unlike our ISP: btopenworld which suggested exclusively MS webrowsers] For us newbies: What does it mean "YOUR WEBROWSER MAY NOT BE FULLY SUPPORTED" ? 1) Who or what is partially supported? Who or what only provides partial support? 2) Why would only partial support be offered? 3) Why would a webrowser {like KONQ} only be designed to be partially supportable or not supportable at all? 4) What is the reason for someone suggesting alternatively listed webrowsers? KMail Configuration for our new googlemail.com account:- 5) Does Kmail require support in the way that a webrowser requires support? (We are currently finding that we cannot access our googlemail.com account independently from loggin in to our 'webrowsers functionality problematic' ISP: btopenworld{yahoo webmail interface). This frustrates our use of googlemail. independently from our ISP! Our googlemail account appears currently fully functional from Konq, but we cannot access our googlemail account at all from KMail which pops up with a message: " mail.google.com is unknown host" (We suspect that many of our initial Kmail configuration problems stem from the "Webrowser Support" issues asked about points 1 to 4. ? ) Hope we are explaining so you can understand? Jackie & Jim. ___________________________________________________ . Account management: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde. Archives: http://lists.kde.org/.
