Description Leroy Wolins 2009-02-04 11:29:46 UTC 
Version:           1.10.3 (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I was not able to successfully configure Evolution after changing my Email account to Windows Live. So I tried KMail. On my first attempt I obtained the error report given.

My operating system is UBUNTU 8.10 AMD64.The configuration info I provided was POP3, SMTP, and a password.

I am able to access Email by going to the browser, Firefox, and going to qwest.com, etc. When using a windows machine, there were no insurmountable problems using Windows Mail.

Since Qwest told me before hand that Linux was not supported, I am not surprised that this happened. I am searching for a workaround -- maybe something like a fancy shortcut.

If they use standard POP3 (or IMAP) and SMTP servers, kmail should work.
If they only provide webmail (mail using web browsers), kmail has nothing to do there.

In any case, to solve the crash (SIGABRT), as you are able to trigger it at will, may you read

and post a complete backtrace here? Thanks :)

The website I attempted to access through Kmail provides only webmail. So,I am going to try something else.I cant find GBD or gbd. I can find KBdg. Will that work on UBUNTU? Similarly, I don't find kdelibs.These tools are suggested for use in the debugging tutorial and I attempted to access them through Applications -Add/Remove- search. So I take exception to the to the assertion, as stated in the tutorial,that "Kubuntu/Ubuntu family makes things quite easy." I would appreciate someone telling me where these tools are hiding. If I could find them, I would use them.
