Hi all,

I just installed the opensuse 11.1(GNOME) on my laptop. Actually I want to send mails to
My yahoo email account or send text messages to my version cell phone ( I only need to
Send out emails)

I use the ATT DSL.

How can I configure my system to enable this?
I did a little research, saying I need to star the mail sever on my laptop.
How can I do this?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Lily

Just configure your mail program to use your ISP’s mail server. Your ISP should have provided you with a POP or IMAP server and a SMTP server to configure into your mail program.
