Description Arek Guzinski 2024-10-12 19:51:25 UTC

SUMMARY
When adding a new Account, I can not connect to my IMAP accounts via SSL/TLS at first. If trying to do so, I get the error message "Server is not available". If I connect once via STARTTLS, I can switch back to SSL/TLS and it works.
I tried this with 2* accounts on 2 different servers. I also tried this with Thunderbird, which has no problem.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start KMail
2. Add an IMAP account, using SSL/TLS encryption.

To fix:
1. Set Encryption to STARTTLS
2. Wait a bit
3. Set Encryption to SSL/TLS

OBSERVED5 RESULT
see summary

EXPECTED RESULT
This should work immediately without a workaround.

Comment 1 Arek Guzinski 2024-10-13 09:19:03 UTC

some more things that might be important:

- All Accounts have a different email domain than server domain, e.g. @ag.de1.cc vs. sslmailpool.ispgateway.de
- I did a clean reinstall of neon, but used my old home dir. At first akonadi would not even start, so I decided to delete ~/.config/akonadi* and ~/.local/akonadi* and set it up from scratch.
