            Status: UNCONFIRMED

          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kmail@kde.org

Hi,

During mail sending Kmail uses some temporary files (i guess) this filename was in our case "1046439786.2449.wwDw\:2\,S". 

The result is that kmail is not working properly, we can not send mail and we can not delete mail. We can read mail. Our setup is SMTP/IMAP.

Our NFS server is a large Dell NAS 775 with 800gig HD space and it's unfortunately Windows Powered. That implies that :\/<>? are illegal characters in file names.

I will try to attach the Ethereal trace of the NFS trafic between the Redhat 8.0 machine and the NFS server.

regards birger....
