That was also my impression, but googling around I found a message where somebody had the same problem and was told, that he would need sendmail installed to enable kmail to use SMTP. This surprised me, but I tried at least (using exim4 instead)... > Check kmail's preferences.

Thank you anyway. Sorry for not telling all the details. I hoped somebody could tell me how to get some kind of error messages so that I could possibly fix it on my own. Here is some more information: I use pop to get the mail which is working (on both systems). I use SMTP on server smtp.gmail.com port 465 with authentification and TLS plain (like google mail webpage tells me to do). Kmail tries to send but stays at 0%. The messages remain in the outgoing mail folder and are not moved to the sent mail folder. On my other system (where I do not need Kmail but installed it just to experiment with it) everything works fine (on the very same gmail account). My problem is, that I can't find out how to get an error message or SMTP log to find out what's wrong. Robert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
