In Kubuntu using KDE the default should be Kmail which should be in the Internet section of your menu. But you can install any e-mail client you want Marty. Just start-up Adept ( the Kubuntu version of Synaptic) and search for thunderbird or another e-mail client.

First launch Kmail which will be in your Internet menu, at that point it may prompt you to enter all of your e-mail server settings. If not then to set-up Kmail you go Settings------>Configure Kmail. In that window you will put in your identity and your incoming mail server settings and your outgoing mail server settings. I just set-up kmail on my freebsd box and it works okay although it can be a PITA to set-up sometimes.

You should be able to install thunderbird or evolution in Kubuntu if you can't get kmail working.

Once you download thunderbird using adept you need to mark it for installation in adept then click apply or okay then tbird should show up in the appropriate menu. If not, then use a terminal prompt and type whereis thunderbird to find it.

Yes, kmail uses smtp. As I said before Marty you need to set-up your incoming and outgoing mail servers in kmail. Look for therm in configure kmail.

Read the help section in kmail if you get stuck Marty:-)

if it wasent for your patience

ide have given this game up long ago

but i like to think ive advanced a little

i like kubuntu and ubuntu

and ime not sure which one to use

ubuntu is easier to get round

but kubuntu is a bit trickier

however other than the email

ime getting there

i found adept and synaptic

have slightly difference options

ok ile try your suggestion and

thanks for the help

the problem was adept wasent installng

but they are both on and working

as i have 3 emails addresses

i use 2 on TB and the other on evolution

this is only a temp measure

till can get used to them

thanks
