(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kmail Version: Kamil 1.4 with KOffice in SuSE 8.0 distribution (using KDE 3.0.0 ) Severity: normal Installed from: SuSE RPMs Compiler: Not Specified OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: SuSE 8.0 distribution I'm configuring my AT&T Worldnet account (called an 'identity' in Kmail) as I have done many times in Win2k's Outlook Express. I can receive mail via the pop3 server ipostoffice.worldnet.att.net port 995 but can not SEND mail via the smtp server at imailhost.worldnet.att.net on port 465. NOTE that this is not via dial-up but accessing att's networks via the net under different standard att ports. This works fine on another machine running Outlook Express on win2k. There seems to be a problem with the authentication in Kmail. As it works on OE it should work in Kmail since Kmail provides smtp w/ ssl and authentication. Can you help resolve? Thanks in advance. Eric eric.swindell@att.net P.S. My version of Kmail (1.4) with SuSE 8.0 works fine for my roadrunner email. However roadrunner does not require ssl or any authentication. (Submitted via bugs.kde.org)
there were several fixes in the 3.0.x releases to the smtp auth support. could you perhaps update to 3.0.5a and try again? also more detail as to which sort of authentication AT&T Worldnet requires (plain, login, CRAM-MD5, etc...), what you have it set to and what the exact error message you get back is would be helpful. thank-you =)
Subject: Re: smtp mail with ssl authentication fails Just upgraded to KDE 3.0.5 with KMail 1.4.2. Works great now! Thanks for touching base with me. FYI, the KMail smtp setups for att worldnet e-mail require SSL and LOGIN, which must have been fixed in the newer release.
