Bug 120661

Version:           1.9 (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

When I use SMTP AUTH PLAIN with TLS to authenticate me against my mail server, kmail presents me the following message:

Sending failed:
Your SMTP server does not support PLAIN.
Choose a different authentication method.
The server responded: "Error: authentication failed"
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:
smtp-auth-plain-test


When using a wrong password with SMTP AUTH LOGIN, then the following message shows up:

Sending failed:
Authentication failed.
Most likely the password is wrong.
The server responded: "Error: authentication failed"
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:
smtp-auth-login-test

Expected behaviour:
- I would like to see a more comprehensive error message for SMTP AUTH PLAIN as the like of the SMTP AUTH LOGIN mechanism.

Lots of my users ask me what i changed at the server after they changed their passwords at the mailserver. (most of them forget that the old one is stored in the kwallet and that they have to change it in kmail also). So a more cleare error, stating that the password is most likely wrong, maybe with a hint where to change it, would be a lot better.
