I think my ISP is just second handing their accounts. I picked up on this before when I was having trouble connecting a good while back. The email server IS theirs though. The rest belongs to some other company, I think. I may be wrong. > > and > > 2. what is your mozilla setting: > "Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings" > "Outgoing Server (SMTP)" > "Use > name and password" (is it ticked or not?) and what is the "Server Name"? I read off to my ISP what I have it set to. They said it is correct. I'll shoot you a screenshot to you directly, if I don't forget. I do that too sometimes. May need to remind me.

I tried starting it from both the menu and from a Konsole. I was reading a thread about someone getting gnome stuff of their system. Holly mentioned that Mozilla needed some gnome stuff to work. I removed a lot of gnome stuff just before Mozilla stop opening. I fixed this by doing this: I did a fresh install the other day. After I emerged kde-meta, I emerged mozilla. I noticed there were about 8 or 9 other packages that were pulled in. I got curious. After I booted into the OLD OS, I mounted the partition of the NEW install and went digging in the emerge log. I picked out the packages that it installed and then installed them on my OLD OS. After that, Mozilla works fine. Most likely, I unmerged something that Mozilla needed. Oh, revdep-rebuild did NOT catch it either. I'm not sure if it should, just saying it didn't. My Mozilla works fine now so that is not a problem. It does not send email though, well, unless it is to myself. LOL I'm supposed to talk to my ISP tomorrow. I'll let you guys know what happens. Dale :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
