Has anybody here had trouble making kmail work on Trixie? ATM, I don't want to try to give the details of what I've tried (partly because I don't remember them, have a headache, and not really interested in spending much time troubleshooting).
I recently installed Trixie (on a new to me machine, with plenty of CPU power and RAM (64 GB)). It's the first new version of Debian I've installed since Jessie. I expected / hoped to continue to use kmail as my email client, and hoped it would work right out of the box. After installation, it can receive emails but cannot send them (well, I'll modify that -- initially it could not send emails, then I managed to get it to send one email (somehow, don't remember what I did -- did not touch akonadi), and now, again, I can't send emails. Aside: I then tried to install Balsa (with a simple apt-get install balsa (or whatever the package name is)( and that failed for some reason -- don't recall and didn't record the error message. Aside: I fetch mails with pop3 and prefer to have them stored in mbox files. On an interim basis I've installed Thunderbird and it works sor sending and receiving. Atm, I'm not interested in (and am getting too old for) detailed troubleshooting -- I just wonder if anyone else has had a similar problem and maybe found a simple fix. (Just in case you're wondering, this email is being sent from kmail on my old faithful Wheezy machine.)
