Summary: authentification doesn't work with passwords containing
special characters (possibly limited to german umlauts)
Product: kmail
Version: 1.9.7
Platform: SuSE RPMs
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: erunno web de
Version: 1.9.7 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from: SuSE RPMs
OS: Linux
When trying to connect to my IMAP account provided by web.de the authentification always fails.
My password contains special characters including german umlauts so I changed it temporarily to pure ASCII. After that I could log into my email account. Besides german umlauts I also use the characters '*' and '!' in said password.
The problem is limited to KMail (and curiously enough, Evolution) as it works flawlessly with both Thunderbird 2 and Opera M2 9.21.
With best regards
Erunno
