I just found out that I can't send email through kmail anymore.  It says 
that the smtp host couldn't be found.  I am an earthlink (formerly 
mindspring) subscriber.  My "real" email address has mindspring.com.  I was 
using mail.mindspring.com for smtp.  That worked until recently (the error). 
  So, I checked the help pages on the web, and they want smtp.earthlink.net. 
  I tried that, and got the same error.  Nothing on my system has been 
changed (especially KDE).  I kept the smtp port at 25 as it was before.  I 
also tried smtp.mindspring.com, mail.earthlink.net.

And, I don't *DARE* try earthlink technical support - they always assume 
they know more than you, and when you try asking them questions, like "What 
SMTP port does your system use?", they'd answer the question with a 
question, like what system and software am I using? - evading my question, 
instead of them saying that "they don't know" - and they do not support 
Linux (only Windows and Mac.)

Please help!
