Miachael,

Thanks for your help. I was able to Telnet to my server with my password
and Netscape Messenger has also no problem. So, why does the KMail Check
Mail attempt comes back with the sever refusing my password? It only
happens in KMail and only since I'm using it with Mandrake 8.0. It
worked under SuSe. 7.1 Live Eval.

Sincerely,

Peter
