Thanks to Bram Schoenmakers for pointing me to the bug about this. I just wouldn't have believed that an app like Kmail in a project like KDE could be this braindead! One of the comments on the but suggested using fetchmail to get mail and then have KDE get it locally. I used fetchmail to get mail for pine until I swithced to Kmail and then I turned fetchmail off. How do I set KDE up to get mail from fetchmail. I did some checking when I first setup Kmail but didn't see anything and then never got back to it. Thanks. On Tuesday February 28 2006 14:41, Brett I.
