Setting up Network Connections
The settings under ‘Network’ (opened with ‘Settings’ ➝ ‘Configure KMail. . . ’)
decide how KMail receives and sends e-mail. There are two tabs, one each for
sending and for receiving mail. Many of these settings vary depending on the
system and network in which your mail server is located. If you are not sure
about the settings or items to select, consult your ISP or system administrator.
Create outgoing mail boxes under the ‘Sending’ tab. ‘Add’ lets you choose be-
tween the server types SMTP and sendmail. SMTP is the right choice in most
cases. After making this selection, a window appears in which to enter SMTP
server data. Provide a name and enter the server address (as given to you by your
ISP). If the server wants you to authenticate yourself, enable ‘Server requires au-
thentication’.
Security settings are under the ‘Security’ tab. Specify your preferred encryp-
tion method here. If uncertain about which one to choose, click ‘Check What the
Server Supports’. The respective settings are then tested and applied. If necessary,
consult your system administrator.
Make settings for receiving e-mail under the ‘Receiving’ tab. Use ‘Add’ to cre-
ate a new account. Choose between different methods for fetching mail, such as
local (Mbox or Maildir format), POP3, or IMAP. Usually POP3 is suitable. Af-
ter making your selection, a window appears in which to enter the POP3 server
data. Enter the name of the server in the field at the top. In the other fields, enter
the values provided by your ISP or your system administrator. The fields ‘User’,
‘Server’, and ‘Password’ are required.
The ‘Security’ tab offers several methods for encryption and authorization. If you
are uncertain about which options your server provides, try ‘Check What the
Server Supports’.
