KMail problems

[vagabond]

Hi all,

Having problems with sending mail through kmail. I've set it up like it told me in one of the help sites. (www.linux-knowledge-portal.org) I also visited other sites but this one gave me the n00b instructions so I went with it.
I can receive mail but I can't send. I checked all of my settings in kmail config and it is as it should be.

One other thing, could this be a bug?

I need to change my sig.

OK, tried it again and manage to get kmail to recognize the problem. According to it "The application kmail crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV)." It also further stated that it only becomes such a signal when there's a bug and that I'm suppose to report it. I've never done this before so I'm not sure how to proceed.
Could use some help, silverpig, CALV, jihiggs anybody?
I only mentioned those 3 'cause they're who come to mind at the moment. I mean naturally every1 who is LINUX literate. Thanks folks

poorboy is the linux guru 'round these parts

Do you want to report the bug, get kmail to work, or just get email to work?

If you wanna report the bug, go to the kmail website (prolly kde.org).

If you want to get kmail working, see if there's a newer version of it out. Try rpmfind.net for that one.

If you just want to get your email up asap, you can just use mozilla mail. I've used it a lot and haven't had any problems.

Some day I'll be rich and famous for inventing a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet.

Thanks silverpig,

sorry poorboy didn't mean to insult in case you happen to read this post.

i'll probably check out mozilla. haven't touched the other stuff yet that I loaded under linux. I do like the KDE environment tho.
