Bug#615869: kmail: Kmail reports "Your server does not support PLAIN authentication" spuriously
Package: kmail
Version: 4:4.4.7-3
Severity: minor
Setting up a server with SMTP Authentication I noted that when you get the password wrong you are provided with an error
message dialog that reports that the servers does not support the PLAIN authentication mechanism.
Exact text pasted from "kmail - error" dialog is:
Sending failed:
Your SMTP server does not support PLAIN.
Choose a different authentication method.
The server responded: "5.7.8 Error: authentication failed:"
