I installed Suse 10.2 with KDE desktop on my laptop and I have two issues I dont seem able to resolve:

I want to use Kontact, just to have everything on one place. I exported my outlook .pst to mozilla thunderbird on my old system and imported all my mail with no problems (files are on a external drive) to KMail. Now, when setting up my account the SMTP is working perfectly, but for some reason I just can't receive mail. I use a Yahoo mail business account and I used Outlook for mail reading and sending. For testing purposes I downloaded Thunderbird, configure it and that one works perfect. The config I did is pretty straightforward:

Account Name - Work
Login - mylogin (same one I use on the Thunderbird test)
PW - password
Host - pop.bizmail.yahoo.com
Port - 110

No Encryption

Again, worked great on Thunderbird but not on KMail. I know the follow up comment is "Why don't you just stick to Thunderbird if it works?". Two reasons, first it bugs me when I cannot make something work and the second one:

I got stuck importing my email to Thunderbird! On the import options I just get communicator 4.x, but I am not able to go fetch for my files on my external drive. I have looked for info on the web but nothing comes up, the method I used was to export first from Outlook to Thunderbird on my old W system and then I tried to set it up on my Linux machine. I was not able to do it on Thunderbird, just on KMail.

I am very new to the Linux world but I love it, and I love running into issues since you learn a lot from them. These are very basic questions to many of you, but believe me I just have no idea how to fix both issues.

Thanks for any help.

I've always had trouble with Kmail and passwords. Are you sure it has your POP login information? For some reason kmail does not like to save passwords and sometime the popup asking for the password fails to load.

that might be happening, on one of my tests I took out the password from the configuration and got no pop up at all. That might the issue, but the information I am putting in is correct as it is the same I used on Thunderbird.

UPDATE (EDIT):

Ok, this is just weird. I was working on my laptop with my wireless and did all the tests with the KMail with no luck. Just now I am with a wired connection, KMail is working smoothly. I unplugged the cable and went back to wireless, KMail started giving me trouble. Not sure why that is happening.

I did the test again, still nothing with wireless, works good with wired. With my laptop I connect wireless everywhere Not sure what to do.
