KMail can't send mail

damaru · 08-11-2004, 08:01 AM

Hi,

I just switched from RedHat 9 to Suse 9.1. Now I can't get KMail to send my mail. I have a DSL connection, and previously all I had to do was to tell KMail where my smtp server was. I tested this with Windoze and it wored.

When I try to send mail I get the message:
Failed to send (some) queued messages.
in KMail's status bar.

There don't seem to be any messages being generated in /var/log. How can I begin to find the problem?

thanks

Same here when I went from Mandrake 9.1 to 10. Does Kmail use postfix under the covers? Thunderbird works.

recent versions of kmail have had some serious bugs. see kmail.kde.org to see if the problem fits.

Thanks that got it working. now is there any way to make it let you past stuff from a web page and have it send the html right? I can in thunderbird. Oh well.
