[newbie] Kontact Question (how to)
On a shut down I got a strange yellow screen, had to power down. On reboot I had disk errors. I let the boot loader 'fix' them (with risk of lost data). After reboot, some task icons and desktop icons were missing and Mozilla lost it settings/bookmarks. I was able to recover OK except for Kontact. I have two mail accounts. Prior to the 'crash' the new message/reply screen allowed me to select the 'from' account from a drop down, now it doesn't. I browsed the configuration panels but did not see anything related. All else with Kontact works normally. Any ideas? Mike Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com

New material, possibly including major updates, will be confined to club members. That's only my impression, though.
