Bug ID: 386106
Summary: Kmail cannot use an SMTP server to send emails
Product: kmail2
Version: unspecified
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
I have tried both kmail versions 5.6.1 and 5.6.2 and neither is capable of
using an SMTP server to send emails. When setting up a "sending" account, it
fails to detect capabilities saying "Please verify port and authentication
modes." It does not matter what authentication mode is selected. Trying to send
email regardless simply "fails to transport message".
To be clear, using "telnet [smtp.server] 25" works perfectly as does the
openssl command line equivalent for port 465. Moreover, all other mail tools
(e.g. evolution, claws, and even the humble alpine) have no problem using the
SMTP protocol. So this is a problem unique to kmail-4.6. Incidentally, even the
ancient kmail version for kde-3.10 could use SMTP, yet the new one cannot!
I compiled all the KDE apps from source (v17.08.2). The libraries it uses are:
- KDE Frameworks 5.39.0
- Qt 5.9.2 (built against 5.9.2)
- The xcb windowing system
