Alternately a autoconfiguration URL could be used. or quick test the "default" mail server names (pop.domain.com, mail.domain.com, smtp.domain.com)for POP3 & SMTP access. or simply querry the DNS Server for MX records for the domain your email address is listed for and get the SMTP servers. *** Bug 89449 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** www.mail2web.com is using a similar thing successfully for year. One needs to type only their e-mail address and password. Mail server will be found from DNS MX record for the domain part of e-mail address. It is assumed that POP3 and SMTP server are the same machine, if that is good enough for thousands of mail2web.com users, then why not KMail? Or at least KMail could first try to connect and if that fails show the full configuration dialog. Hi, long time has gone, but finally kmail has an configuration wizard... be patient for 3.5 Ciao, Tobias |
