Description Keith Waugh 2008-04-20 00:24:27 UTC
Version:           1.9.50 (using 4.0.3 (KDE 4.0.3) "release 17.1", compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.22.18-210-default

Trying to send email through Gmail system using Kmail (Kontact), get error below:

Sending failed:
An error occurred during authentication: SASL(-4): no mechanism available: No worthy mechs found
The message will stay in the 'outbox' folder until you either fix the problem (e.g. a broken address) or remove the message from the 'outbox' folder.
The following transport protocol was used:
 Gmail.com

Can receive email successfully through Gmail, and can Send and receive regular POP3. Can also successfully load Https pages in Konqueror.

Sending mails with Google Mail works fine for me.

This error is usually a setup problem (of the distro).

Have you got another program running which also uses SASL? Are you sure SASL support is correctly compiled into kio_smtp (that should be shown during the cmake phase when building kdepimlibs)?
Are you sure that the SASL libraries are correctly installed?

I fixed it by installing cyrus sasl plain package. using Software Management from Yast. Have Cyrus sasl already installed by default, checked Konqueror crypto settings and have SSL2 location listed (/usr/lib/sasl2). Using openSuse 10.3, KDE4 live version with Kde 4.03 and Kmail version 4.0.69-26.4. Apparently installing the Plain package adds this functionality. Hope this helps.

Closing then.
