Hi Steve, sorry re the late reply, but finally back home :)

There should have been *heaps* of output on the console. Did you close kmail 
first before starting it from the console? Remember that KMail can close to the 
tray which means it is still running. If so then right click its tray icon and 
choose quit.

To double check it no longer running type the following on the konsole:

  ps -e|grep kmail

If kmail is output then its still running.

(How this works - Ignore the following explanation if you like)
"ps -e" lists all the running processes. The "|" symbol "pipes" the output to 
the "grep" command. "grep kmail" filters the output for just the lines that 
contain "kmail". The overall effect is to just list the running processes 
called "kmail"

Assuming kmail is no longer running try running kmail from the konsole and 
sending a email to yahoo again.


Cheers,
