Let me say at the start of this that the install was very very easy and I was up and
running right away and connected to internet and sending messages.
My only disappointment is with the failure of kmail, an apparently integral part of
KDE.

Received these replies from support:
- Kmail is corrupted (remove and reinstall it through rpmdrake in Drakconf as root)
I can't find kmail on rpmdrake/Drakconf (as root)
- Your mail entries are not correct.
Reviewed and reviewed:
Set to SMTP
correct setting for ISP
port 25
set to send now
Next was:
"Configuration of Kmail is not included in our list of free support."
hmmm - coul reinstall and try again. Hope I wrote down all those settings.
