No, the IMAP server is on a different box. This laptop is +pure client. + +It's odd, but I may have solved the problem. That said, I still don't +understand why. During the time I've been trying to solve this, I +have made two changes. First I added a newline character in +/var/spool/mail/anne - this seems to have disappeared, so I doubt if +that was the reason. The other change was to make the ownership +anne:mail. Maybe that helped? I don't know. + +I tried Frank's strace suggestion - and saw practically nothing +(Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"), so I tried +logging out and in, and restarting, to see if the problem was +triggered by first-time use in either of these situations, but I +didn't get the message on either occasion. Perhaps it's cured. + +Anne +- -- +Need KDE help?
