[newbie] Configure Kmail for Hotmail without 3rd party software!
Posted by Raj on Wednesday 17/Nov/2004, @03:57
Folks,
I am newbie. I am able to use Kmail to access HOTMAIL directly
without any other software!
For Incoming emails:
Select : POP3
Host : pop2hot.com
{ Feed your username and password }
Extra Check What the sever supports
For Outgoing emails:
Select : SMTP
Host : hotmail.com
Security Check what the server Supports
I didn't use Hotway, or other tools!
All the best!
Raj.

Interesting, according to Network Solutions pop2hot.com is available. I
thought it a good idea to check who owns that domain before feeding it a
username and password.
hot2pop.com is also available if you're interested.

Re: [newbie] Configure hotmail using Opera
Please if any one knows how to configure hotmail using Opera setp by step becuase i'm new at Opera. many thanxx in advance for your help. Ahmed I'm running hotwayd(http://hotwayd.sourceforge.net/)on my router/firewall/gateway box(MDK9.0) computers on my LAN can get mails with POP3 protocol from hotmail.There is no difference between Opera,Firefox or something else.Mail accounts for hotmail are configured so that incoming mail server is mygateway and port is port where hotwayd listening (177 in my configuration). Wasn't pop3-access with hotmail only for paying customers? I recall that only a few email clients (like the default outlook express) had the possibility to fetch webmail through http and thus supported email-download from hotmail.

It is now possible using hotwayd in conjunction with your favourite POP3/SMTP implementing mail reader (and soon also possible using IMAP4). Hotwayd allows you to do this by using the HTTPMail protocol, the same protocol that Outlook[tm]/OE uses, to access the hotmail or MSN servers. HTTPMail is based on WebDAV, and is a way to access remote resources using simple HTTP requests (which means that you can also access your HTTPMail server behind a proxy server!). -- //GO.SYSIN DD *, DOODAH, DOODAH Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Configure hotmail using Opera
A lot of websites are not really opera-friendly i've noticed in a near past. Don't know if it has still problems with complex cookies and various sign-certificate cyphering scripts, but that was for me the reason to ditch Opera as i required it to access certain sites. Netscape works best but in some cases you can't circumvent Internet Explorer :( I use Mozilla Firefox myself, but it's not yet as good as Netscape.

Re: [newbie] ./configure
what is this ./configure i see people talking about? i have tried typing this in be bore i make something and it comes back a command not found? how do i use this command? Joe, This is a command usually used when you want to compile a program from the sources. You untar the file (tar xfvz file.tar.gz), cd to the created directory, and there the configure command is located. This will check the requirements for the compile to succeed (if the linux headers are there, if there is a compiler, if the needed libraries like GTK or TCL are installed etc.). If things are good, then configure will create the so called Make files. These direct the compiler to compile the sources in a certain way. And you type ./configure because the dir that you are in is not in the path. So you tell the computer that it has to look in the current dir (./) for configure. Hope this is clear now. Paul
Re: [newbie] ./configure
And to even take it a little further, it's not so much an issue of the ./configure command, but more of the ./ command. If you go through the steps that Paul pointed out, and untar a program to install, then do a ls -la configure you will see that it's an executable script. For example, here's a app I installed recently. After I cd'd to the directory, I ran the ls -la. [timh@r2d2 enlightenment-conf-0.15]$ ls -la configure -rwxr-xr-x1 2133 2133 174858 Mar 11 1999 configure* As you can see from the -rwxr-xr-x, the x's mean that it's executable. As does the * at the end of the file. Running the ./ command lets the system know that the file you want to execute is in your present working directory. (pwd) Some installs don't even use a configure script. Some have an install script, some are already configured and have the needed make files so there's no need for the ./configure. Other times it's even named config, so you would be using ./config instead. So basically you're running the configuration script that most apps come with when you download the source. tdh -- T.

At home, I setup my Linux box to be www.whatever.com Now I want the Linux box (through ppp dial-up) to get all mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to be then parsed to the appropriate user at home. -ISP (holding all my mail)-| | +-My linux box-+ | +-Brother's PC ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | +-Brother's PC ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | +-Dad's PC (dad@whatever.com) | +-and so on... I would like to use Sendmail and Fetchmail so I can learn to use it more and more as a standard. The pc's at home are linked via Class C TCP/IP numbers (e.g. 192.168.x.x) The linked pc's are running Windows and/or Linux as workstations be masqueraded by the Linuxbox to the internet. I know I can set up the individual pc's to get their own mail straight from the ISP through masquerading but I only want some pc's to have internet access while others only get mail (This town only has 56K...no cable, no dsl, no nothing) If someone can setup an example scenario, I'd greatly appreciate it.

[newbie] Configure Internal ZIp drive
In attempting to configure my internal ATAPI-IDE Zip drive I found the following advice (I have lost the source): "Here's how to use an IDE ATAPI zip drive on Linux. First, the kernel: Do _not_ use the "IDE FLOPPY" option (officially the name is CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY ). This will work perfectly for reading and writing, but it will not work for ejecting. What you need to do is say yes to the option CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI. When this is set, you will treat the IDE ATAPI drive just like a SCSI drive, except without the SCSI card and all that other garbage.." However, I don't know how to access the options referred to. Any suggestions much appreciated. Michael Coady
Re: [RE: [newbie] Configure X problems]
I have that exact vid chipset myself. It is supported well in 7.02 I think possibly the problem is the monitor choice, even though your monitor may be listed, try the Generic Monitor/Multisync, with default settings. That should at least get your Xserver to start. I used "xf86config" to do the final tweaking on my video/monitor setup. As a side note, I have tried "xvidtune" and all it does is crash my Xserver. My vid card is a Newcom 4 MB PCI w/CL5465 chipset, and a Sceptre 14" PnP monitor, my vid settings for X are 1024X768 32 Bit color. HTH Jaguar "Eduardo M. A. M.

[newbie] ./configure problems
Hi everyone, After I ran the ./configure step for a tarball I downlloaded (KCMJoy), the process stopped with: "checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X. Please add the correct paths." So, how do I find the correct paths, and tell ./configure to use them? Thanks for any help. Paul

I just installed Mandrake on an Gateway with a similar configuration. When you first described the problem, I was thinking that maybe you were trying to use a 486 or some crazy configuration, but you do have a good machine for Linux, and it should work. I'm not sure how much help I can provide you. But this is what I would do. Your problem appears to be hard drive related. For the install I would remove one of the two hard drives. I think this is where the installer is getting confused. You can always add the second drive after the install (Yet another adventure :-) Then try booting from the floppy again, but this time select a pre- configured option, like Work Station or Server. This option will automatically partition your hard drive. DO NOT choose "Custom" which would require you to manually partition the drive. If the pre-configuration option doesn't add everything you want you always add programs later. Hope this helps.

RE: [newbie] Configure X Error
Thanks, I think the problem was the graphics card, couldn't get Xconfig or anything having to do with X to start, ended up rebuilding another machine and installing on that. All went flawlessly! Thanks to all who replied.

Hi Steve Philp, I am really new to linux and appreciate very much your help, but, unfortunately, the modem doesn't work.
