There is an autodetect button in the Sending settings. But for example my ISP apparently supports both 465 and 587 since I had 465 in Thunderbird (other computer) but kmail autodetected 587. > The dependence on Akonadi bothers me, along with suggestions I've seen on the > order of purge and reinstall Akonadi -- > that sounds like the traditional Microsoft reboot advice (and not very > reassuring) -- e.g., will I lose emails when I do > that? If that works, how often will I have to do that. I don't think I've ever needed to wipe anything from Akonadi but again, not a heavy user of kmail or Akonadi. I do remember a time years (maybe over a decade) ago when it was unable to deal with a computer sleeping, I had to restart the akonadi daemons by hand.
