           Summary: Kmail will not send through a non-default SMTP server if
                    the default SMTP server is not properly configured.

            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

I have two email accounts, one is for Gmail, one is for Freemail (through Freenet).  Gmail's SMTP server is default, and when I attempted to test sending through Freemail to see if I got it right, clicking Message > Send Mail Via > Freenet (secure) causes it to pop up stating that I didn't have the credentials to send through Gmail (I forgot to tell it that it needed credentials to begin with) and then won't send through Freenet.  After fixing the credentials, it sent through Freenet.

The process to reproduce is likely to just set up two SMTP servers, and try to send through the non-default one when the default has the wrong credential settings (in my case, stating specifically that the server did not need credentials).
