kmail losing emails... help pls!

[Larry Hartman]

I woke up this morning thinking, "IHOP anyone?" and read this thread.  

Brendan makes some good points, but can package his remarks a lot better so as 
to aid the digestion--some politeness and gentleness will go a long way....as 
it is written now I don't know if Rick has much interest in hearing what 
Brendan has to say.

Rick, I want to encourage you to keep learning.  I switched from MS about 9 
months ago and am still learning basic concepts about file structures, config 
files, all the stuff under the hood that makes the OS tick.  I grew up from 
the days MS DOS 3.0 and had to unlearn a lot of MS concepts to make the 
switch.  Things just don't work quite the same in Linux and I can fully 
appreciate how a particular program may seem "broke" because it doesn't 
behave the same way is its counterpart in MS--simple things 
like "drag-n-drop"--sometimes hard to get use to.

If you (or any other new user on the list) are not already familiar with the 
broader community helps that are available for (K)Ubuntu, check out these 
websites:

wiki.ubuntu.com
ubuntuforums.org
kubuntuforums.net

I would bet that for any given topic you would be hard-pressed to find it 
without some type of entry by another user who is working on the same 
issue/problem--and quite possibly a solution.  These sites became my friends 
the first three months of my experience with (K)Ubuntu.

Now my stomach is beginning to scream.    mmmmmm.....IHOP anyone?

All is good.  Life is good.

Larry
