I had the same problem. I simply switched to using a secure port using SSL and whizbang, it worked.

Using kmail in pclinuxos preview 7. kde 3.2.3

This link at Desktop Linux has some more info, and a few success stories.

Hi.

Tried all of the solutions posted but yet I can't seem to post mail with Kmail.

Its an odd one, it says "message sent successfully" but yet nothing ever arrives, I've tried both sendmail and SMTP both "appear" to work but no mail is ever received.

Is there anyway to trace or debug what is going on to try to find out what is happening.

Used Fedora Core 2 with KDE V 3.2.3 Kmail 1.6.2.

Any suggestions pleas?

I had some problems with kmail twice. There is definately a bug in there somewhere.

This solved the "Failed to send some queued messages" error for me.

Basically, remove your identity and create a new identity under kmail settings (make sure you have your email address in there), and remove any "stuck" outbox messages. Re-start kmail and give it a shot.

Hope it helps,
Exo

Thanks Exo.

I think I have it working, I made a new indentity removed the old one, then in the Netowrk Send where it have name, I put my full email address, this seems to work, so why isn't it labed Email not name, very confusing.

Anyway very happy now I have that sorted, on to the next problem.......

Thanks
