can somebody please help me to configure kmail?
There does not seem to be a wizard for this and im a newbie! PoP account is, "mail.adelphia.net. SMPT account is same. Not sure what suse is saying when she asks the name of account and so on. Not asking the questions like OutLook express.

Nice wizards only showup at KMail @ KDE 3.5 - This said, what exactly are you trying to do, can you more specific?

Also, the manual its pretty much clear on how to configure everything. Do F1 at KMail and take a look.

Thanks! I was a little premature with my request.all is configured. I recieved your reply from Kmail and im up and running! Im playing around with different themes right now. Im not sure...is it me or are alot of the themes at kdelook.org broken/corrupted? Not haveing much luck installing them after download. One installed right to theme manager and is working fine. The other two went into my home folder and when i right clicked and requested the "install theme" option, all seemed fine. I went into control center> appearence and themes> theme manager and as expected, there it was. I highlited it and there was no preview. I clicked on apply and nothing. and to boot, i cant get the damn thing removed from theme manager now! am i missing somthing?

Most styles and win decos fro kde-look.org are ment to be cooked (configured, compiled) and served (installed) like everyday apps.

Ive never heard it put that way before. I like that! So I guess im gonna have to do some book work if I want to play around in Linux uh? (I have no Idea how to "compile" and "configure" in Linux!) Gotta do all that just to install a theme/screensaver? Ok...Its worth it...I like linux.

OH,and THANKS MAN!!

Heres a brief (really really brief, condensed and generalized) hint of what Im talking about. Most software comes in packages, this packages are different from distro to distro (ie Debian's deb, Fedora & Redhat's rpm). This is stuff ready to be installed in your system.
Now, from time to time, with all the apps out there you will stumble upon software that you need to cook and serve. This software usually comes in files with .tar.gz or tar.bz2 extensions (there may be others), this are source files for such software.

What you have to do for this files is really simple (right... he he he). Here's how we work with this stuff. Download this files and get ready.

I start by creating a working folder (call it "temp" or eh... uhm... "working").
Move or copy (or directly download) the source to your temp dir.
Now comes the preparation of ingredients...
Extract the stuff. Use your favorite tool or file manager or even your trusty terminal or konsole.
Go to the extracted folder (they almost always come in folders) and get working...
First of all you have to configure the software at hand so that it can be compiled for use. We do this at the terminal by entering a "./configure"
This can be a lenghty process (depends on what you cooking and your hardware ), but once its finished there is usually a message at the bottom saying "Good, star your Make now" or something like that.

Now we cook... or more like your box does the compiling.
Once everything is configured we tell your box to go ahead and compile the software, that is to make the bins, and whatever other files that you'll need to run the software at your box.
We do this by entering a "make" at the terminal.
now this can take some nice long or short time. From seconds to hours (yup, hours - most Ive done were 20 hours compiling OpenOffice back in my Gentoo days). So you'll most likely want to do something else and leave your computer alone or play some games or whatever. Grab a book. Heh
Sooner or later it will be over and done.

Then comes the serving... or more like the proper installation of the software.
Now, you have to install the software you have already prepared (configured) and cooked (compiled).
We do this by entering a "su -c 'make install'" at terminal
Some more work, a lot of file movement and copying and once its done voila! You have your software installed.

Now, don't be afraid to play around, dig any books you stumble upon, haunt the forums, hunt the channels and have fun.

Well,..your obveously a pro at this! Thank you very much for takeing time to explain! I had your reply on Desktop #1 and I was attempting to execute your instructions on desktop #2. I was doing pretty good to, until I got to the part where you say to enter "/configure" at the "terminal". Then I got Lost!
By "terminal" I took it to mean that I am suppose to open 'Konsole' and type "/Configure" at the prompt. If this is correct then I hit-a-wall because the reply was, "no such file or directory".
But other than that, I understand what needs to be done. (I think!)
Im definately going to pick up a book! Windows had me spoiled, but Linux deserves my attention! Thank you again! dont mean to bug you! hopfully ill get to the point of helping someone else.

Hrmm... yeah. Know what happened there. You'll notice I said "./configure"... not "/configure" (note the missing . ) nor "/Configure" (again missing . and caps). He he he. You'll get it.

Im sorry, I did not mean to make you think that I used caps! I did not. I typed it just the way you did, without the quotation marks. /configure..."No such directory or files". Have you ever wanted to throw your keyboard against the wall?! (LOL!)

OK,..You can laugh now! I just noticed that, Yeah,...The Newbie missed the period (.) before /configure! Im gonna go try it now!
Just entered; ./configure in 'Konsole' and still "no such file or directory". Ok,..You do know that Im useing Suse 9.3 right? And, It might look like i used a space before entering the slash but i didnt.

Then assuming you are into the extracted folder (or directory whatever) from your source file, maybe theres something different. What are you trying to cook anyway? Can you give me some links or name of the thingie you trying out?

I downloaded a color tar.gz. I cant seem to find it, but it was from kdelook.org. I saved it to my home folder>My sources. ( created folder,'My sources') The first time that I opened Konsole, I opened it from outside of the tar file. Then I remembered that you said to open terminal inside file. I just did that and still got "no such file or directory". hope this helps!
Correction. I know where the file is. I just cant find it at the web site again.
