           Summary: misleading error message on wrong SMTP password
           Product: kontact
           Version: 1.2.9
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: luca.i at gmx.net


Version:           1.2.9 (using 3.5.10, Kubuntu (hardy)
4:3.5.10-0ubuntu1~hardy1)
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.24-21-generic

I changed my mail account password and forgot to change it in kmail's SMTP
settings. When trying to send email, kmail told me the server wouldn't support
authentication method PLAIN. After I corrected the saved password, I was again
able to send mail (using PLAIN, mind you).

Expected Behaviour: Error message about wrong login information, no message
about authentication method used (since it was correct).
