## Email

### Introduction

The email module of the &kcontrol; allows you to enter and save some basic email information. This information is used when performing functions related to email within &kde;, for example, when sending bug reports from the &kde; crash handler application.

Programs such as &kmail;, which are used for reading and sending email, may offer many more options for customising the way in which email is handled. These options depend upon the specific program being used. &kmail;, for instance, offers its own configuration facilities.

Some of the information needed for configuring email should have been provided by your internet service provider (ISP). If you are connected to a local network, then the system administrator of your network should be able to help you.

### Use

&kde; automatically establishes some of the information for this control module using the login information on the system. You will need to enter the remaining information.

Looking at the page from top to bottom, the options are:

Full name
