Well, they shouldn't do that!

I think we ought to just leave it like it is, so that we can smack these 
dummies around a bit when they ask questions like, "Why can't I get mail when 
I set my SMTP port to 4,000,506?" :-)

Besides, I think these are going to be the minority of our users. The 
majority of KMail users already run Linux or some kind of BSD or other UNIX, 
so odds are they're a bit more computer literate than the average M$ Windoze 
user. (Oh, I know, I'm a UNIX sysadmin at my day job, and I deal with idiot 
UNIX users every day.)

Just remember, "If you make it idiot-proof, then only an idiot will use it." 
:-)

Cheers,
Jason
