Version: 1.10.3 (using KDE 4.1.3) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs Using KMail 1.10.3, I can receive my email from gmail account with ease, but sending is impossible. I tried all possible combinations of parameters including SSL or TLS, username with and without @gmail.com, port 465 & 587, and Authentication method as PLAIN or LOGIN. Nothing works!! I receive error messages: ==>Using port 465 & SSL Sending failed: smtp.gmail.com 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 was used: smtp gmail ==>Using port 587 & SSL: Sending failed: smtp.gmail.com: SSL negotiation 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 was used: smtp gmail ==>Using port 465 & TLS: No error message, but kmail says"Sending message" and it will never end... ==>Using port 587 & TLS: Sending failed: smtp.gmail.com 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 was used: smtp gmail I already had the package cyrus-sasl-plain and I reinstalled it several times. I also restarted kmail a hundred times and rebooted my machine, all without any success. Kmail wont send email. However, I tried to mispell my smtp password using any above settings (that will generate an error msg), and kmail says that my username/password are incorrect, so I assume that kmail succeed to connect to the gmail server, but the encryption (SSL) is corrupted or incompatible. Any help appreciated as there is clearly a lack of good PIM's out there for Linux...
Please try clicking the button "test what server supports", if it does not works, try with: port: 587 Cipher: TLS In Advanced: check server needs authentication user: username without @gmail.com password: whatever check store password (it works for me) authentication method: PLAIN And do not forget to close the bug if it works :-)
OK It worked! The only combination i didnt tried is TLS and without the @gmail.com in the username.. Thanks 1000 times Jaime!!
