I've been watching the /var/log files and as suggested by Stevo they are slowly ballooning. I think if one of the admins wanted to mark this solved that would be good. I know what the problem is and that was the purpose of the original post. I'll putter with this as I have time and if I come up with ...

I missed your reply Stevo. I'll keep and eye on this for a while and see about a new thread.

I took from your previous post that I could remove them so ran the rm command from the terminal and it certainly had the desired effect of freeing up a lot of space on root. I am curious as to how this came to pass, if there is anything else I should be looking out for. I leave this out there for a ...

So with Dolphin I see both syslog and kern.log as being 7.8GB which is what the disk analyser reported. I poked around a little but didn't see anything that caught my attention.. Can these two files be deleted. They seem to be just straight up files so it would seem to me to be all or nothing. I ran ...

Thank you for directing me to the MX Cleanup. If I interpreted this correctly the disk analysis tool showed that /var/log is taking up 16GB of the root partition. That is about equally spread between /var/log/syslog and /var/log/kern.log The default option for deleting logs is not accessed for 7 ...

I recently did a clean install of MX-23-kde, 64-bit, which to all indications went very smoothly. The only changes I made relative to the previous distro (19.4) I was to expand the size of the root (20GB to 30GB) and the home partition from 50 to 65GB. After installation I updated all of the ...

Sorry I missed Rich's comment. I added it to the MX-KDE release from the default repos. And again not my intention to have offended anyone. I found that you now have a KDE specific iso very helpful - and had it not been for this sending issue would have saved me a bunch of time. Thanks for all the ...

No, certainly not you all, but if you look at threads over this issue on kde and other distro boards this problem has been around in various forms in various upgrades for years. I've had some issues installing kmail in the past but nothing like my current frustration. This has been addressed on kde ...

Last chance for kmail for me. I'm posting just to update this thread that I just installed MX-19 KDE and after spending most of yesterday trying to get it to send mail can share that this problem has not gone away. It was a clean install on new partitions and I didn't attempt to import anything only ...
