Error in Mail Deliver Setting

[Brian Jones]

Got Kmail installed & setup (using the wizard), did find a problem getting kmail connecting to Kolab to send mail (had to open ports 2000 & 465 to the firewall (ports now open for kolab: 25,110,443,22,993,995,143,465,2000)  Once I opened the ports kmail pushed the mail off to Kolab to be sent.  

But still having the "empty inbox" issue.  I did fire up my other (windows) mail server ArgoSoft and watched as it tried to send mail to kolab but got an SMTP error (see log snipit:)

Thinking that it might be because Kolab & ArgoSoft both exist behind the firewall I tried sending mail from gmail & mindspring neither gets returned but does not show up in the inbox either.

I have also tried sending mail from Kolab addressed to me on the ArgoSoft server, but there is no indication in the ArgoSoft log that it even tried, and mail addressed to gmail & mindspring accounts never show up.
So I guess this has turned into a server setup issue.  


Thanks,
Brian
