I'm curious -- are you using a local email server (like postfix) or is kmail configured to send mail direct to your isp (via smtp). IIUC, a way to tell is to check your kmail configuration -- is it set to use smtp to your ISP? (Reason I ask is that I know postfix (and most other email servers) will hold mail for an "exponential delay" after a failed attempt to send. But, I guess the email would be gone from your outbox in any case -- it might just come back in 5 days and say "failed to deliver after 5 days" (approximately).) Randy Kramer
