[kde-linux] Kmail Problems. Was: Installing KDE4 on Sid

Hi Anne,

I've changed the thread name to something more in keeping.

To be honest I don't like Gnome either, but there are so many

Don't take this wrong, but it doesn't sound like a kde issue at
all...

I'm not convinced.

It is not affecting all my clients, only a few.  Unfortunately I
have not been able to pin down any particular cause yet.

If kde were to blame, wouldn't all your clients be affected?

Most of my affected clients are disparate individuals spread across a
wide ranging age group. One is in their 90's, But I agree that they
are only a small proportion of the total.

You may have covered some of this in another thread, so please bear
with me, when I ask you to update us. Can you define 'clients' -
in terms of whether they are all on separate boxes or some are
users on one box - specifically whether those that do/don't have
problems share a box, and any other physical possibilities of
similar circumstances.

Can you give us a summary of your attempts to track it down? It
may give us some ideas to help you.

Anne

Common factors:-

The only ones that are affected are using SuSE 10.3 (could just be a
SuSE problem).

All the ones affected are using "Talktalk or Onetel" as their ISP.

A clean re-install of 10.3 clears the problem until the machine
updates via the "opensuseupdater"

Putting their Login/Password into a laptop running SuSE 10.2 on their
own connection allows normal operation.

Not all users are affected. at the moment I have 8 who are. Another
4 are temporarily using web mail as a fix.

On a couple of machines I found that IPV6 had been turned on, but
turning it off made no difference. I did find that turning IPV6 on
did stop Email working and screwed up web browsing for me, so I
assume it would for others.

I think thats about it.
