No there is nothing special about using a Linux client. So long as your ISPs server gets what it expects, then it will work. Some ISPs require authentication when sending, others do not. - If authentication is required enter it in your Kmail 'Send' settings Some ISPs will only let you send immediately after logging in to check for received mail. - In that case tick the 'Send messages in Outbox after check' button in Kmail setup. You can check that you can get through to your ISPs mail server by opening a terminal and typing telnet your.isps.mail,server 25 (insert the domain name of your ISPs mail server) You should see a response back looking something like :- $ telnet smtp.ntlworld.com 25 Trying 62.253.162.40... Connected to smtp.ntlworld.com (62.253.162.40). Escape character is '^]'. 220 mta02-svc.ntlworld.com ESMTP server (InterMail vM.4.01.03.37 201-229-121-137-20020806) ready Thu, 12 Feb 2004 13:13:37 +0000 If that does not work you either have entered the name of the server wrong, or your DNS lookups are not working in which case you will not be able to browse the Internet either, and I am sure you would have mentioned it if you couldn't.
