k-mail setting up
 

I have just installed OpenLinux-Caldera on my machine, i am trying to setup the k-mail, so that i can read mails from our win2k-exchange server? What number should be used for SMTP port?
Any help is appreciated!

standard is 25

i am now able to read mails using the K-mail programe, but i have 1 more problem, which is when i have open the k-mail and all mails from my outlook inbox went dissappeared, how am i able to setup my k-mail so that mails in my exchange server still exist and how do i put my mails from my k-mail inbox back to the exchange, so that i am still able to read my existing mails from my outlook 2000.

Pls help!!!!

hello any update?

I describe my problem again, when I access my mails from our win2k exchange server, all mails from my inbox folder went disappeared and all these mails went into my K-mail inbox. It seems like i have problem dragging those mails back into my inbox folder from the exchange.

Pls help!!!!

kmail set-up
 

OK, here's the plan:

1. in kmail, go to Settings -> Configuration
2. in Configure - Kmail dialog under "Network"
3. modify the relevant account (bottom window)
4. uncheck the "Delete mail from server" box.

I hope this solves your problem with mail disappearing from the server. As to getting the mail from kmail back to the server, you could probably just forward it to yourself.

use IMAP instead of POP3
 

The "leave mail on server" kludge that most MUAs (email programs) is just that -- a kludge. I would strongly suggest using IMAP in KMail and Exchange - leave the email on the server, where it is backed up and accessible from anywhere.

Hi All,

Thank you so much for your help. I am now able to fix my problem and yes, i am using IMAP to configure to read my mails from exchange.
