This evening, I received the following error message from kmail.
""Your POP3 server (Whitelawchartered) does not support the UIDL command. > This command is required to determine, in a reliable way, which of the mails > on the server Kmail has already seen before. the feature to leave the mails > on the server will therefore not work properly.""
I sent it to siteground and received the following response:
"The UIDL capability of POP3 is enabled on the server and you can verify this with telnet as follows:
Code:
Stanimir-Panayotov:~ stanimirpanayotov$ telnet whitelawchartered.com 110

Anyone have a clue what I should do now?
