I just found out that I can't send email through kmail anymore. It says
that the smtp host couldn't be found. I am an earthlink (formerly
mindspring) subscriber. My "real" email address has mindspring.com. I was
using mail.mindspring.com for smtp. That worked until recently (the error).
So, I checked the help pages on the web, and they want smtp.earthlink.net.
I tried that, and got the same error. Nothing on my system has been
changed (especially KDE). I kept the smtp port at 25 as it was before. I
also tried smtp.mindspring.com, mail.earthlink.net.
And, I don't *DARE* try earthlink technical support - they always assume
they know more than you, and when you try asking them questions, like "What
SMTP port does your system use?", they'd answer the question with a
question, like what system and software am I using? - evading my question,
instead of them saying that "they don't know" - and they do not support
Linux (only Windows and Mac.)
Please help!
