So check (and change if need be) the settings in Kmail&TB to use your ISP mail-server. Currenly you must be using the local postfix server to process the mail and as it's not configured it breaks. Usually it's something like: mail.ISP-name-here.com Check again username & password for the server. Unmerge 'postfix' - not needed. HTH.Rumen
