Am at an Internet Kiosk, where I volunteer some time this morning, and using
Kmail to send test emails through the clearmail address, without any
problems, without any changes in configuration to my lappy's Kmail
configuration files. So it would appear to be an error with the Clearnetworks
server which is giving me the problem, which doesn't get picked up in
Icedove? Or maybe they have fixed it?
Will have to see when I get back home tonight.
Thank you to all for your help in trying to get this to work.
Be well,
Charlie
