This reminds me of former installs of Kmail, where I did have to manually add 
some dependencies (SuSE93 for sure, older UBUNTUs as well). It looks pretty 
close to the kind of message I got @ time of install... years ago.

I just checked my current openSUSE10.2 install, it has changed somehow, I 
cannot point you to the right dependencies unfortunately - this hasn't 
happened to me over kmail1.2.3 recent install.

What version of kmail are you running ?

When I was on Kmail 1.1, I had to do a research (with YaST or Synaptic) over 
the keywords "pop3", "kio" and "kmail" (including "details" 
or "description" - I do remember that one missing item to allow kmail to 
speak POP3 language was called something around "kio_pop3slave" - probably 
not the actual name, but it's a "slave" that features the word "pop". Two 
years ago, any new install of kmail required me to take these steps. It may 
have been "kde" instead of "kio" though. I assume these missing dependencies 
have been merged somewhere between the kdebase package, or kdepim. Can't find 
a specific link though, their filelist are way too long.

I hope I am totally missing your point & that your problem is solved 
already :) but it just reminds me this past "feature".

cheers

Jean-Philippe
