Kmail wants localhost

Ever since I was forced to do a hot reset, Kmail has been complaining that it cannot connect to host localhost. I don't have an account for localhost, so I'm not sure what it's referring to. I do have a localhost entry in /etc/hosts, but somehow I don't think that's what it's referring to. I grepped in .kde/share/apps/kmail. Nothing there. Any ideas? -- Jeffrey Barish -- kubuntu-users mailing list kubuntu-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users
