You can configure Kmail. Just get to the Kmail settings dialogbox and select accounts. Click on send tab. Select you mail account. The bottons on the right hand side will be active. Click configure button and a new dialog box will appear. Click on the security tab. You will see a button on the bottom of the dialog box. This one is used for autoconfigure settings. Click it and wait for Kmail to detect the settings. Then try sending again. My explanations may seem unclear due I do run Turkish localized version of KDE. Goksin Akdeniz
