Kmail setup?

[Robert Meyer]

Well, what I would do is to configure 'kmail' with your ISP's SMTP host
information.  Chances are that you can't send mail with the default 'postfix'
or sendmail configurations.  Since you're using an ISP, that's probably the
best route.

In the kmail configuration (Settings->Configure Kmail->Network), there should
be two tabs.  One is for receiving and the other for sending.  Sounds like the
receiving part is OK.

You need to put your ISP's SMTP parameters in there, including login 
information in the 'Sending' tab.  There will be a default there that you
should remove by selecting it and clicking the 'Remove' button.  Then click
'Add'.  You will get a popup that allows you to fill in the information
that you need.  Don't forget to go to the 'Security' tab and check the
Authentication method.  The best way to do this is to click the 'Check
what the server supports' button.  If you get an error at that point, you
have the wrong server name.

Cheers!
