Description Thorsten Staerk 2008-08-12 15:27:22 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

If I have the "Authentication Method" set to GSSAPI, write a mail, get the error that the mail server does not support this authentication mode and try to delete the mail from the outbox, it is not possible.

Steps to reproduce:
- install an SMTP server that supports authentication, but not GSSAPI. An example is the default installation of postfix.
- choose kmail -> Settings -> Configure kmail -> Accounts -> Sending
- Add or modify one, choose Advanced -> Authentication Method = GSSAPI 
- Send an email over this account. You get an error message.
- try to delete this mail from the outbox

expected result: 
- the mail gets deleted

actual result: 
- the mail does not get deleted

Can not reproduce on kmail 1.11.2 with gmail imap account. It does give error but I am able to delete mail from outbox.

I can no longer reproduce either. Seems this was a bug that only shortly was in trunk. Thanks for triaging!

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this version of Kmail has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug. Please try using the latest version of Kmail to see if your issue persists. If it does, please submit a new bug in "kmail2". Thank you!
