The only thing I couldn't do is move a file named /kmailcvtrc, I did not have that file. When completed, I opened and reconfigured kmail. I could not use the feature (What the server recommends, because I am unable to get a connection through router or modem to the ISP, so I made the proper selections and tried to open kmail. I got the same error message I have been getting, Unknown Host pop.att.yahoo.com. I am going to wait for instructions, because both configuration entries are the same I believe and I hope it doesn't matter which I remove when this is all over. As far as the moved data, do I just put it back where it was or do I rename the entries that are currently functioning and then return the moved files back. Is there any possibility that the fact that I do not have /kmailcvtrc that that could be causing the problem??
