Version: 1.9.51 (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources OS: Linux I have two email accounts, one is for Gmail, one is for Freemail (through Freenet). Gmail's SMTP server is default, and when I attempted to test sending through Freemail to see if I got it right, clicking Message > Send Mail Via > Freenet (secure) causes it to pop up stating that I didn't have the credentials to send through Gmail (I forgot to tell it that it needed credentials to begin with) and then won't send through Freenet. After fixing the credentials, it sent through Freenet. The process to reproduce is likely to just set up two SMTP servers, and try to send through the non-default one when the default has the wrong credential settings (in my case, stating specifically that the server did not need credentials).
Ok, I found that once the default server is authenticated, even if it is deauthenticated, it will properly send, but it is still a problem that it won't go through if the default has never been authenticated
>clicking Message > Send Mail Via > Freenet (secure) causes it to pop up stating that I didn't have the credentials to send through Gmail So you tried to send with Freenet but KMail showed an error message about GMail? Did you have other messages in your outbox at that time? That is the only reason I can imagine for this problem.
It was the first message I attempted to send with Kmail since installing it, which was also the first time installing it in the current install of Kubuntu.
The problem i have is similar to this: two accounts Fastweb (italian provider) and gmail. Default server is fastweb but every tme I try 'send as' to send an e-mail via gmail it sends correctly the email but via the default server.
Could someone please attach your mailtransportrc (or something like that) and your kmailrc from $HOME/.kde[4]/share/config? Take care to remove sensitive information like your password first.

I still can not reproduce. I tried the following: 1. Deleted my .kde4 directory (well, actually moved it somewhere else) 2. Copied the attached mailtransport / kmailrc to .kde4/share/config 3. Started KMail (clicked away the password dialogs requesting passwords for the two incoming accounts), and added a dummy identity (so KMail doesn't complain about missing From field) 4. Set "Gmail" as the default transport in the config (because that is what you claimed in your first comment, but the Fastweb transport was actually the default one) 5. Created a new message, and tried to send it via Fastweb. 6. Result: The password dialog popped up, asking me for the fastweb password. So please provide more detailed steps how to reproduce this problem, using a clean .kde4 (or .kde, depending on your distro) dir, and using the attached kmailrc and mailtransports file.
I'm not Colin Josey, in my settings Fastweb was the default one, and gmail the one i couldn't send through
> I'm not Colin Josey, in my settings Fastweb was the default one, and gmail > the one i couldn't send through Oops, sorry, I confused both of you. Anyway, I still can not reproduce this, I tried sending through both accounts and it works.
For me sending with different accounts works reliable. Can you please report back if you still have this problem with recent kmail versions?
