[tde-users] kmail through ssh tunnel

Since we are going off-topic all over the place, I will try to be the pillar of stability here. (I know, I know, but nobody else will do it.) I am starting a new thread, because this goes off-topic in a good way. I believe it was Michael who wrote this memorable line, which immediately got my attention: Now, I have used ssh tunnels for lots of programs that are more (what's the word?) "passive"; that is, listening to online radio, xmpp clients, wget, youtube-dl and apt-get and other things like that, where I am mostly downloading data. But when I tried to run Kmail over any proxy connections, it would crash. It seemed to me that an ssh tunnel would be the way, but how to do it? Bill jabber/xmpp dr_mojo_contendo(a)hot-chilli.net
