“The RoseBouquet”

I think I just summed it up above. I’m not sure you really want all the
technical details of the pros and cons between KMail, Mutt and Pine.

I have been suspecting that the problem lies in that KMail uses SMTP and Mutt
and Pine use something called Sendmail, but SMTP and Sendmail do not play well
together. If one is in use the other refuses to operate. I haven’t been able to
confirm that yet.

Right now I’m able to Receive emails for all my addresses except my ISP and one
of my domain mails that I use just for the Linux Users group I belong to. I
have a feeling that’s because those are the ones I tried in Mutt and Pine. They
did show up there, but not any more.

However, I can send on all my other addresses by simply going to the web-mail
interface, and copy-pasting in the email I have received, and answering it
there. This is rather time-consuming, but I am truly desperate to get back to
my usual work schedule for at least my mornings and evenings. So I’m starting
to answer emails that require one, and if I have time to spare in the afternoon
block of time, I go hunting for answers to my questions on the Internet.

I have no new pages to report on the Ruthes-SecretRoses.com site because of all
the above, and entertaining our dear guests over the weekend. I also had to go
to the city yesterday for a committee meeting at the mission. However, today
I’m looking forward to getting back to work! I MISS the sense of accomplishment
when I get some new web pages made, and when I can interact with business
contacts and with friends. I have writing projects to finish, and bookkeeping
to set up all over again.

Like little Elise, I’d like someone to pick me up and move me forward just
because I’m reaching and throwing my body forward. That just doesn’t seem to
work for us adults though, does it?

A really BIG, arms-thrown-around-you ((((HUG)))) and thank you to those who
have written words and prayers of encouragement! What a blessing to know that
you stand with me in this “learning-curve” crisis. That has given me a large
measure of peace. So instead of fretting, I’m going to work around it, and
trust that the solution is going to show up sometime soon!
