Description Yohann 2004-08-13 13:47:07 UTC
Version:           1.6.2 (using KDE KDE 3.2.3)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

When manually configuring the proxy in the kde control center, kmail doesn't take it into account...

bye !

The proxy settings are completely unrelated to KMail's transport mechanisms.

(It might be possible that you refer to loading external references from within a message, but you didn't describe it that way. So it is a very vague guess. If I'm right, please check the upcoming KDE 3.3 for the problem. You could then reopen this report.)

To complete that: the proxy settings in KDE's configuration are the HTTP and FTP proxies.
Confusing with socks maybe?

Comment 3 Yohann 2004-08-13 18:24:27 UTC
Sorry for having being vague...

Because of, maybe, my misunderstood of the problem, I'll explain the situation.

I'm behind a proxy (squid) and, as expected, when I try to fetch my mails with kmail, it says that it can't resolve the pop.server.com name...

logic...

But now what did I miss ? Kmail must have to do something with the proxy.
Or is this all about socks ?

That's an HTTP proxy, so it's unrelated to KMail.

Not really.
It's your name resolution that doesn't work.
Check /etc/resolv.conf, and/or check with your ISP.

Comment 5 Yohann 2004-08-27 00:53:23 UTC
was my resolv.conf. I am really stupid...

What could I Say ?

Sorry would be quite appropriate.
