First off (and write this in your notebook :) ), we need you to tell us 
the *exact* error message you got, I am not sure if the above is the 
*exact* and *complete* error message.

An email server configuration error , or a (temporary) error on a yahoo 
mail server out there on the 'net is not necessarily due to an upgrade 
or update, and the two command-line commands you used aren't necessarily 
connected to your current problem

'kdesudo aptitude update'
should be
'sudo aptitude update'
(write this one down)
All this does is update your package list and looks for new packages - 
nothing else

'sudo dpkg --configure -a' is used to finish an interrupted package 
installation (or an interrupted installation of a group of packages)
