> Sbcglobal.net is the name for your account within Kmail.
Nils, the name of my account is Steven Vollom, the Organization is Studio25.
The only other names I have used for an account is my email address, one
time, and Studio25, several times.

I did; it is 'Steven Vollom'. I am also familiar with my server, both pop.
and smtp. att.yahoo.com.
> It should be Sbcglobal.net
This I do not understand. Do I name my account or does the mail client. I
remember typing in the words, which were never Sbcglobal.net. I don't even
remember ever typing sbcglobal.net with a capital 's' because of case
sensitivity. I sent a png of my Account Name to Bruce, do you want me to
send you one to your personal email address. Don't you understand, it is
because I can not find anything to show Sbcglobal.net as a name for my
account or anything else, that I considered the possibility of a bug. It
seems reasonable that the jelousy of a company to get their name out there in
all cases would make unlikely that att.yahoo.com would'nt have me change my
email address from stevenvollom at sbcglobal.net to stevenvollom at att.yahoo.com.
I have seen many individuals with the later email address type. But that is
not the case with me. The only change they had me make was to change
pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com to pop.att.yahoo.com. Same with smtp. That was done
years ago.
Perhaps my post is not clear. But it seems probably a simple word change to
correct the issue if it is one. I truly am only trying to contribute, not
criticize.
>Sometimes I can see the same error if my router isn't online when I click the
send button.
I haven't removed Thunderbird yet from my computer. It contains some
technical and personal emails in its records that I don't want to lose, and I
haven't figured out how to transfer them yet, but I opened Thunderbird and
sent a few hours of emails to see if it had connection problems with the
server. Never once did it send an email to the Outbox. Never once did it
linger in sending at all.
Each time I send using Kmail there is a prolonged delay. It is not something
I cannot live with, because otherwise I prefer the program, but it happens
every time. I was looking for anything peculiar to my configuration might
have cause conflict with the programmers instructions. Because I cannot
change my email address with my server, I thought if it was a programming
error that rarely happened, it still may be an error programmers would want
to remove. I just don't know how they think.
Am I talking in a way that offends, right now? I can't figure out why Bruce
is doing this. If you know what it is, tell me? I am thick skinned. I will
change. Someone complained about my post length and taught me how to trim.
Isn't it noticed how careful I am to change the things that I do wrong?
