I used this for awhile; without any other results- I always have to send mail 
the only way I can, as described, no matter what the send method or outbox 
folder settings.

This is good info; it's possible with respect to timing, but SMTP AUTH is 
required, so I can't send mail any other way, so the box is checked.  I 
failed to mention that the SMTP port number is 587 (not 25): the hosting site 
requirement.

Also, I have running another email client because it's also the default 
internet browser (Opera), and  every time I open Opera, it checks mail, but 
the mail appears in Kmail as well.  Maybe 
this has something to do with it, but I doubt it since I had several times 
kept it closed during experimentation.

This part actually doesn't bother me, just thought I'd mention it. 
I'll probably get rid of it once I have fully borne in mind, that my messages 
are being sent unencrypted.  Thus far, I still keep forgetting. :)

Thanks!

ps. running KMail 1.9.9 on KDE 3.5.10

Maybe I need to reboot; haven't done that in a few days.
