<div>I have been receiving the following message or variations since Friday (Oct 12). This is on a Gmail account. I also have an account on an MS Exchange 2007 server that was giving SSL related errors. I turned off SSL and the Exchange messages are sent. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I had tried two times to reply to this message with the suggestion of turning off SSL hoping that Gmail would respond as Exchange did. However this is the message I receive.</div><div><br></div><div>Failed to transport message. Your SMTP server does not support PLAIN. Choose a different authentication method.

I have things setup to do interval polling of a pop3 mail account for new<br>
messages. It worked pretty well until recently where I've started getting<br>
failure dialogs asking me to correct the login/password. Canceling these<br>
dialog allows the mail fetch to retry and continue, so the stored<br>
login/password is good.<br>
<br>
AT this point I'm trying to figure out what's changed and why kontact/kmail is<br>
reporting an error. To that end I'm hoping to log the specifics of the failure<br>
- is there some way to do this?<br>
