Paul Evolution got POP or IMAP what i need is a e-mail client to connect to hotmail Gil Maybe this is usefull for you then: http://dot.kde.org/1035822985/1035828921/1035906330/ KMail can already handle hotmail http mail via gotmail (http://freshmeat.net/projects/gotmail/). Simply fetch your mail from your hotmail account with gotmail, save it in a local mbox-style mailbox (Warning: Don't save it in ~/Mail !) and then fetch the messages from this mailbox with KMail. You can even configure gotmail as precommand for a local account in KMail so that in order to fetch new mail from your hotmail account all you have to do is press the Check Mail button in KMail. Of course you can also enable interval checking for your hotmail account. That's the beauty of Unix. Don't reinvent the wheel a thousand times but use the tools that already exist. Regard, Ingo - From http://dot.kde.org/1035822985/1035828921/1035906330/ Gotmail is a utility to non-interactively download email from a Hotmail account. It can download messages from all folders, messages from certain folders, or new messages only. There are options to delete downloaded messages or mark them as read. Gotmail can forward messages to other email addresses or save them as local mbox-style mailboxes. I don't see why this wouldn't work in any other mail client that can read mailboxes althout I really like KMail and the precommand that really helps there may not be available in other clients. If you want KMail to look like outlook, hold your breath and wait for kde 3.2, the answer is Kontact: http://www.kontact.org http://trolls.troll.no/sanders/kontact/kontact1.png http://trolls.troll.no/sanders/kontact/kontact2.png http://trolls.troll.no/sanders/kontact/kontact3.png http://trolls.troll.no/sanders/kontact/kontact4.png for more information of what's going on in 3.2 related to PIM: http://dot.kde.org/1043346607/ Hope it helped.

[newbie] configuring c-media sound card.
I cannot get this sound card working. It worked well with windows and suse, but now, I'm using mandrake and I cannot make it work. I found IRQ conflicts (soundcard-vga, soundcard-eth1, soundcard-usb), etc, etc. So, disabling usb I manage to not have conflicts. But now, it doesn't work anyway. The sound is a c-media cm8738 When I configure it with sndconfig everything seems to be working, I hear to the sound sample, but when I try to play an mp3 for example, it sundely stops in the middle of the music (using xmms), it inserts noise when playing a CD and arts core dumps. playing mp3 with the alsa player seems to work, but I'm not configuring it with alsa (as far as I know). Some one told me that this could be a dma problem, and told me some other things to include in the kernel, some things to change, but, maybe there're other that I should change. I've been having this problem with the original mandrake 8.0 kernel, (2.4.3) and with the kernels I've compiled (2.4.5). Thank you. -- Pupeno: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pupeno.com.ar
