Glad you got it sorted out!

Does this mean in a way that somehow kDE has an integrated 'becomeroot' in it ? It is true I do not have becomeroot installed, so apparently this was why the regular xterm does not work for me and 'rooterm' did. I should probably install becomeroot, eh? Neither program, however would work when I tried your command lines to fix the email. Thanks for the help PB. Much appreciated.
