OK so let me make this very clear because this is starting to get a little 
confusing for me. I am trying to access my mail from my isp cox.net they 
allow me to access it from the web. webmail.west.cox.net or I can access it 
from a email client( they recommend MS outlook) They provide no support for 
linux( no big surprise there) All I want to do is access my mail with pop and 
send mail with smtp. Sending mail is no problem I am doing it right now using 
kmail which will send it through cox to plug and thats how you are reading 
it, The problem is when I want to read my mail I use kmail and it asks me a 
password every time. If I wanted to do this I would just use the web. They 
ask me for my passwd aswell. I want to be able to click on an icon and get my 
mail no passwd I am the only person who has access to this box so security is 
not an issue. I just want to press a button and BAM my mail is accessed 
downloaded and ready to read. No more no less.
