How To Manually Reconfigure Kmail Host Settings

This document (3885473) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.

Environment

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10

Situation

Kmail hangs and pegs CPU utilization to 100% when contacting an e-mail server on which the user account does not exist. Manual reconfiguration of the e-mail settings is necessary.

Resolution

Some e-mail clients allow for offline startup for reconfiguration. Kmail, however, does not. Because of this limitation, manual reconfiguration is necessary. To modify the Kmail settings, open ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc with your favorite text editor and change the [Account $number] section accordingly.
