KMail: Still trying to configure the 'SEND' facility since last advice on 6th & 8th Dec 2005

[Justin Denick]

Sorry about the mix up with root permissons being needed, most of us take
for granted that we can become root at anytime as admins of our own
computers, as such we (at least I) expectec the same from you. My bad.

On an aside, you have confused me a bit here. You are checking your mail,
from "konq" which leads me to believe that you are checking it through your
ISP's web interface.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Apart from that, your attempts at configuring KMail to send and receive mail
have been, to this juncture, unsuccesful. I see that you are adding the
option
<snip>
Checked X in box "Server requires authentication"
</snip>
Try unchecking this. As I said earlier, your ISP may be obtaining
authentication when you check you mail. And, hey... It's worth a shot.
