Bug#355290: kmail: getting mail via pop3 results in the message "Could not start process pop3."
Package: kmail
Version: 4:3.5.1-1
Severity: important
When I try to get mail from a pop3 server (pop3.gmx.net) I get a message
popping up saying:
"Could not start process pop3."
In the same time it puts out on stderr the message
"kmail: ERROR: : couldn't create slave : Unable to create io-slave:
klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'pop3'."
I have this situation for several months, and I have it with a completely new
debian system as well.
I tried the port on the host with telnet and get a response.
Sending mail is no problem
