Chris I guess it's a problem in your mail server side. Once I have tried to sent some mail over 20 MB (for test purpose) through KMail 1.6.1, it failed to deliver but nothing else wrong.

[newbie] Kmail has died!
Sorry if I'm not making this a threaded msg, anyway, I'm using imap folders only with fetchmail to get mail from my isp and procmail to process toss it into the folders. Not connecting to an imap server. I looked for any lock files, couldn't find any. Would deleting my .kde folder in /home and restarting kde possibly clear up the problem? As I said, its the same in knode, I can't start any new articles there either. Both apps just lock up. Thanks again for any help Chris Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I ended up renaming my .kde folder, logging out and back in again to recreate the .kde folder. Then started copying over *rc files until I found the problem which appeared to be my emailidenties. For some reason, something didn't like my sig anymore.

[newbie] Kmail has died!
Since I can't add to this from Kmail I'll have to do it from Mozilla. All other functions of Kmail work, ie..my imap folders are still working, I can still go into kmail settings, I can still read mail, I just can't start a new message, fwd, or reply to one. I'm sure that something happened when trying to fwd the large file, but I can't figure it out. Chris Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Chris I'm not sure I can help you Chris. But last week, I couldnt add contact to the address book. It said that some process used it. So, I check the ~/.kde/ directory and delete some lock files. In your case, you might also want to clear the sent-folder? Or, you said you're using imap server? Maybe the server needs to be restarted. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | http://linux2.arinet.org 11:27:20 up 3:09, Mandrakelinux release 10.1 (Official) for i586 public key: https://www.arinet.org/fajar-pub.key Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
