SUMMARY When the value of the <socketType> element in the configuration file (i.e., config-v1.1.xml) is not equal to the value defined by the specification (i.e., "ssl", "starttls", "none"), Kmail will set to the plain connection type by default. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set the value of the <socketType> element to any value except "ssl", "starttls", "none"; OBSERVED RESULT Default to plain connection type. EXPECTED RESULT Take a more conservative implementation that determines the connection type based on the port number.
