Description Sudhir Khanger 2015-01-25 03:40:58 UTC
My Google Apps account has an email primary@mydomain.org and an alias alias@mydomain.org. Aliases share same inbox so my KMail has one IMAP and two SMTP account one for primary and one for alias. I have created two identities which are exactly same but with two differences. Email address are different and Outgoing account has their own smtp.  When sending email If I choose alias identity and it has alias smtp in outgoing account then it gives following error

Failed to transport message. Your SMTP server does not support PLAIN. Choose a different authentication method. The server responded: 5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at 5.7.8 http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=14257 vl1sm2292747pbc.62 - gsmtp

if I don't select an outgoing account in alias then everything works fine. My emails are sent without any errors. 

The reasons I want two identities is because I want emails sent to alias to be sent via alias smtp and primary to be sent via primary smtp account.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup primary and alias account/identities.
2. Make both identities choose their own aliases.
3. Send email using alias identity.

Actual Results:  
Emails are not sent from alias account if I choose its smtp for outgoing account in smtp. 

Expected Results:  
If I don't choose its own smtp then KMail would choose the default smtp account. Since aliases act as separate email accounts they should be able to use their own smtp accounts.

This bug has never been confirmed for a KDE PIM version that is based on KDE Frameworks (5.x). Those versions differ significantly from the old 4.x series. Therefore, I plan to close it in around two or three months. In the meantime, it is set to WAITINGFORINFO to give reporters the oportunity to check if it is still valid. As soon as someone confirms it for a recent version (at least 5.1, ideally even more recent), I'll gladly reopen it.

Please understand that we lack the manpower to triage bugs reported for versions almost two years beyond their end of life.

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.1 aka 15.12, preferably more recent), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
