Re: [newbie] Kmail & cable modem
Thanks. Sending mail now works, but I'm still having problems with receiving mail. I'm not really sure what to fill in the "Host" space so I've left it blank. When I click on to get my mail the message at the bottom reads, "Proceeding transfering for ... ". It will just stay like that and nothing will happen. Any ideas?

Re: [newbie] Kmail & cable modem
Philip, The Server entry should either be your POP3 server name (like "mail.myisp.com" or something), or its IP address. For Port, use 25 for SMTP (the default). Your other option is to set up Sendmail and be your own SMTP server. I've never done that, so I can't help you there.

[newbie] Kmail & cable modem
Hi -- I'm trying to see if I can set up Kmail to retreive my e-mail. I get as far as the SMTP tag where it asks for Server and Port. I have a cable modem and all the documentation on e-mail (as well as tech support) said that I need to switch to Outlook Express, so I'm not really sure what to fill in for Server and Port. What I have tried has returned, for example, "Can't find host. STMP://mail:25." I use my cable modem for Netscape and all is fine there. My questions are: a.) Is configuring Kmail possible with a cable modem? b.) If so, where would I find the settings to install in Kmail to get this to work? Thanks! Phil
