Version: 1.10.0 (using 4.00.98 (KDE 4.0.98 (4.1 RC1)), Kubuntu packages) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-17-generic I set up my email-account with the accountwizard on the start up. It seemed like it would be determining which authentification methods to use and then it was finished. Unfortunately nothing worked, no emailcheck was possible. Then I went through it manually in the kmail-settings "Check what server supports" and everything worked fine after that.
Which server did you try (SMTP and POP3/IMAP hostname+port, please). Which settings does the account wizard detect, and which settings did the account config page detect?
No response, closing.
