Transport
dialog box.
5. Modify the settings in the Modify Transport dialog box and click OK.
The Modify Transport dialog box contains two tabs:
• General: This tab contains settings for the SMTP server hostname
and port number, and to specify whether it uses encryption in the
connection.
• Advanced: This tab contains settings for authenticating the SMTP
server to forward e-mail messages.
6. Click OK to exit the Configure dialog box.
Now that your KMail software is configured, you’re ready to start using it.
From the main KMail window (refer to Figure 10-12), you can view your inbox
by simply selecting the inbox entry in the Folders section. To check your
mailbox, click the Check Mail icon in the toolbar to connect manually with
your ISP server.
Sending e-mail messages is as easy as clicking the New button in the toolbar.
The Composer window, shown in Figure 10-16, appears with the standard
e-mail layout, as we already discussed in the “Evolving into E-Mail: Evolution”
section.
