email help

[Alan Dacey (grokit)]

I found ssl settings for Kmail that I didn't know existed when I set up an email address in Thunderbird using the setup wizard (or whatever they call it)

Try intalling it, setting up you account, then copying the setup info.  you can alway purge it later if you don't want it.
