My advice is to ditch Kmail and use Sylpheed. Somebody else on the list will be better qualified to help with your KDE problems--that sounds like the place to start if you want to keep using Kmail. Your box can use sendmail to send mail, but tell me, if you are getting these mails, you must be able to connect to your ISP's server to retrieve your mail. So it's just sending that doesn't work? Off the top of my head, I'd verify that you've got the correct server for sending mail. Also, try it with "requires authentication" checked and then unchecked in your mail program. Let us know what happens. Todd
