Wouldn't it be much easier if Kmail would try and find out which of the smtp servers in the list accepts connection and relay? Then, if it finds one, it could set it as default. The moment it fails, because you are in a different location, it could try and search again. Yes, good suggestion. It would let KMail do it, instead of the user having to do it manually, hence being transparent. It also doesn't require the GUI to be become more complex. However, KMail can't fallback to a SMTP transport that has lower security than the one that just failed. That is, if a SSL-layered transport fails, it can't fallback to an unencrypted. Frans Trying different SMTP connections might compromise your privacy (because somebody who shouldn't see it might see which other provider you use) or in a corporate environment could even bring you into deep trouble for trying to connect to an SMTP server outside of your company. In any case this wish is part of the much more general wish for different profiles (including different sets of identities+incoming servers+outgoing servers). If you find the corresponding wish then please close this report as duplicate. The way I handle this in the meantime is that I implemented a DCOP call to set the default SMTP server, and I have a simple sh script that checks my IP and then sets the correct SMTP server accordingly. Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented. Thank you for your understanding. Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2. |
