update: called them. They fired gmail and have setup their own servers
again, at a shentel.net address. So a change in the fetchmail "poll"
line to the correct server got me a pile of waiting msgs, but while
i've made the smtp changes in the kmail send menu, kmail refuses to use
it, or even offer it as an alternate sending account. So I am listening
to some pan pipes on hold again. Sucks, about 10-33 torr.
