mailfilteragent

#1 Post by whbr »

Don't know if this is an MX problem at bootup or more likely a kde problem. As of yesterday I am getting this message

Failed to get d-bus interface mailfilteragent

and I can't send mail using kmail.

I did a search on the internet and similar problems are reported but mostly older, not exactly involving mail, and generally more complicated than what I can deal with.

Reinstalling kmail does nothing and to remove and replace it means removing and replacing all of the kde modules. Which I can do but is more time consuming so I was hoping someone might know of a flag somewhere that got changed.

I am running a recent fully upgraded install of mx-16 on a lenovo t-400.

Thanks in advance for looking at this. Mark

MX does not use KDE. The window manager is XFCE. If you have added KDE or downloaded the Community respin, this should be posted in the MX Modified Forum.

I will move the thread. If you give some details on how you installed, and system info, inxi -F in a terminal, I feel confident someone with knowledge of KDE will step in to help out.
