            Bug ID: 386106
           Summary: Kmail cannot use an SMTP server to send emails
           Product: kmail2
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: grave
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: Kwanza.Pili at virginmedia.com
  Target Milestone: ---

I have tried both kmail versions 5.6.1 and 5.6.2 and neither is capable of
using an SMTP server to send emails. When setting up a "sending" account, it
fails to detect capabilities saying "Please verify port and authentication
modes." It does not matter what authentication mode is selected. Trying to send
email regardless simply "fails to transport message".

To be clear, using "telnet [smtp.server] 25" works perfectly as does the
openssl command line equivalent for port 465. Moreover, all other mail tools
(e.g. evolution, claws, and even the humble alpine) have no problem using the
SMTP protocol. So this is a problem unique to kmail-4.6. Incidentally, even the
ancient kmail version for kde-3.10 could use SMTP, yet the new one cannot!

I compiled all the KDE apps from source (v17.08.2). The libraries it uses are:
- KDE Frameworks 5.39.0
- Qt 5.9.2 (built against 5.9.2)
- The xcb windowing system
