           Summary: SMTP authentication not discovered when behind
                    STARTTLS
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.12.2
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: dev at gioelebarabucci.com


Version:           1.12.2 (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

The auto-discovery mechanism of KMail is unable to discover the available
authentication mechanisms when they are presented only after a STARTTLS
connection.

Once the "Check what the server supports" button is used, TLS is correctly
recognised but in the "Advanced" tab everything is grayed out and the message
"This server does not support authentication" is displayed. This means that the
user cannot change the authentication settings after the button has been
pressed.

One of the server that I use requires STARTTLS on the submission port. Here is
the output for an EHLO command _before_ STARTTLS:

  EHLO example.com
  250-out.example.com
  250-PIPELINING
  250-SIZE 10240000
  250-VRFY
  250-ETRN
  250-STARTTLS
  250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
  250-8BITMIME
  250 DSN

This is the output of EHLO _after_ STARTTLS:

  EHLO example.com
  250-out.example.com
  250-PIPELINING
  250-SIZE 10240000
  250-VRFY
  250-ETRN
  250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN
  250-AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN
  250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
  250-8BITMIME
  250 DSN
