kmail - how to send mail to self?


How do I get kmail to send an email to back to the same account I am using it from?

For example - if I am using kmail for the account me@email.net and I have something from an irc chat or IM I need to keep for future reference (instructions for something, contact info for someone, etc.) I open a new blank email in kmail, address it to myself, copy in the info and hit send, but the message never arrives. I have previously used this method with Thunderbird and Evolution and it works in both of them just fine but does not ever work in kmail.

I just tried it with kmail (version 1.9.6). I received mail sent to myself after a couple of minutes.

You may be able to work around the problem by looking in your sent mail folder to retrieve the mail you sent to yourself.
