Thanks for the tip to try this question on Fedora Test List. I actually did but couldn't find a solution. So far, the response here has been very helpful. So, N.Emile, if you think the problem may be aktual, what's the best way to resolve this? And, yes, indeed you're right kdepim now holds kmail. Thanks. [root@localhost rory]# which kmail /usr/bin/kmail [root@localhost rory]# rpm -q -f /usr/bin/kmail kdepim-3.2.2-2 [root@localhost rory]# rpm -q --whatrequires kdepim kdepim-devel-3.2.2-2 I don't know if it's best to uninstall kdepim and kdepim-devel first, or just install new versons over it, although I'm pretty sure Fedore Core 2 tests would have already done that and it hasn't worked. So, your "aktual" comment might actually be a good clue. Rory quote: I don't think if should. It may be a problem with the aktual mail itself. BTW, to the other folks who answered, kmail moved from kdenetwork to kdepim. N.Emile...
