Description Ryan Winter 2007-12-29 12:11:41 UTC

Version:           1.9.50 (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

Add the address of a POP3 or IMAP mailbox that only supports SSL connections. If you select the "Check What The Server Supports", the port will always revert to the non-SSL version, and the error "Could not connect host: Unknown error." is reported. At this point, the SSL and TLS options are disabled.

Ryan,

Can you try again please?
 make sure you are using qt-copy, with the patches applied.
 and make sure you are using a very new kdelibs.

hopefully, the new ssl code that was merged few days ago will make this bug go away.

Hi Allen,

I just finished compiling the latest qt-copy, kdelibs, kdepimlibs and kdepim however this bug is still there. Looking at wireshark, KDE 3.5.8 attempts to connect to 143 (IMAP), and when this connection fails, it then connects to 993 (IMAPS).

However the latest KDE svn just checks the port 143 and then reports the failure.

POP and IMAP still use the old servertest from libkdepim, which seems to be broken. It should be ported over to the servertest from kdepimlibs/mailtransport.
It has nothing to do with the new SSL support, AFAIK QSslSocket is used (and that is OK in this case).

Check what the server supports should work fine now, I've ported it to the new servertest.
