--- Comment #2 from Graeme Hewson <bugs at wormhole.me.uk> ---
It's also a fault that the error message is misleading. Kmail says:

> Failed to transport message. Your SMTP server does not support PLAIN.
Choose a different authentication method.

Fortunately, in this case my SMTP server is more informative. The message
continues:

> "The server responded: "5.7.0 Incorrect username or password."

This bug goes back to kmail1 (see bug 120661, reported over seven years ago).
