Stephen, I am a newbie, but from what I know it is perfectly possible that you cannot receive your mail but at the same time you can send.
The problem is that each task is performed by different protocols. You need a SMTP server for sending mails and ussually a POP server for recieving. And, as long as a passwor is not needed for an SMTP server (whenever it is an open realy) you will be able to send your mails without problems. In the other hand, you will need a password to download your messages from your POP server, and if it doesn't match you'll get an error message. I recommend you to check your Kmail configuration, and if you are not including capitals letters. I hope this helps :-) Rafael Lepra -----Mensaje original----- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]En nombre de Stephen Liu Enviado el: viernes, 09 de noviembre de 2001 14:01 Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: [newbie] Kmail cannot receive email but can send email Hi All People, I encounter another problem in running Mandrake 8.1 Each time when I check mail in Kmail, a warning pop-up saying "Error, incorrect password". But it can send emails without problem. I am quite sure the password entered in configuration is correct. Any guy on the list came across such strange thing ? B.R. Stephen Liu
