I am in a real pickle now.  I know how I got there and feel very stupid, 
but I don't know how to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

Everytime I am doing work on the 64bit box, I switch the keyboard and 
the lan line, so that I can work on the internet while working on the 
box.  I have to go back an forth a lot.  So when I couldn't get Kmail to 
work on the 64bit box and Kmail still worked on the 32 bit box,  I had 
salvation.  Thank GOD I have two email servers hooked in.


Anyway, and being an old guy with a fading memory, when I would press 
send on an email I would take that as a configuration problem.  I would 
tinker with the settings trying to get an email sent that was not 
actually connected.  By the time I thought of the connection problem, I 
had tried so many configuration possibilities that I can't remember the 
one that was right.  Now both boxes are screwed in Kmail.  It is the one 
I normally use to.  When I look at the configuration in Thunderbird, 
things aren't necessarily named the same, so I am not sure which 
settings affect sending and which are just informative.  I have tried to 
duplicate the Thunderbird settings but have failed.

Then I tried to install Thunderbird on the Intrepid partition and the 64 
bit Intrepid box.  They are no longer in the package manager, at least 
in mine.  I am not confident downloading from other sources.  When I 
tried from the Thunderbird site, it would download about 1.5 megs and 
stop; I forget the error message except that it said I had to enter the 
network settings to increase something.  I will have to reinstall to get 
the correct error message.

I can't send screen prints because they are too big for the list, but I 
could send them to your address if you would look at them and see what 
you think.

I am using my backup Thunderbird now and can't understand how I got it 
on Intrepid 32 and can't get it now.
