Hello

I try to set up kmail to use SMTP on google mail accounts. I have
tried to do this on my machine here (Debian sarge) as a test and
everything works fine. But (as a Gnus user) I do not need kmail for
me, but try to set it up on another machine which is a Debian sid
system. But whatever I tried I cannot send mail from Kmail there. The
mail just stays in the outgoing mail directory without any error
message being displayed. I couldn't find an error log file either.
I *can* send messages using 'mail' on the command line, but not with
kmail.

How can I find out what the problem might be?

Robert

Are you trying to use an MTA to send? If not then the fact that you can
send using 'mail' is not relevant.

Check kmail's preferences. There is usually a setting like 'keep
messages in queue', and kmail will not (try to) send them until you use
the Send/Receive (or whatever it is called) button.

Andrei
P.S. Sorry for suggesting trivial stuff, but you didn't provide enough
info so I'm just guessing.
