Hello, I've just tested successfully the following mail accounts on Kmail / Fedora 16:
- My ISP pop3 server: OK
- Microsoft Live (hotmail) POP3S server: OK
- A local IMAP server: OK
- The same local server with IMAPS (SSL): OK
- The same local server with IMAPS (TLS): OK
- My gmail account with IMAPS (SSL): OK
I did not try SMTPS (SSL) because i do not have a server to test. I did not try "disconnected IMAP", but I guess it is basically the same as normal IMAP.
The only bug (misconfiguration ?) I've seen so far is that it always ask if I want to hide warnings about invalid (self-signed) server certificate when using SSL on my local server, I say "never ask again', but the popup comes back everytime.
Please note that I do not have any complex configuration on my mailboxes (few subfolders, few messages ...), maybe kmail is more unstable with heavily loaded mailboxes.
If you have spare time to waste, you can try the same Kmail configuration with the Squeeze LiveCD to see if the same problems occur.
Ah yes, I forgot about that: Might not be setup with Gmail's correct SSL settings. Thunderbird tries to detect that automatically. Kmail can 'normally' detect it when you tell it to, but only if the correct server and port are already entered.
When I click detect it says can't read :)
I just tried. It detected the SMTP settings, but not IMAP. If you want to try one more time, here are the settings that are working for me:
Disconnected IMAP Login: Your full email address (youremail@gmail.com or youremail@googlemail.com) Password: Your password Host: imap.gmail.com Port: 993 Optional settings: Store IMAP Password, Show only serverside subscription, Include in manual checking, Enable interval checking Security: Use SSL, Clear text
SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com Port: 587 Server requires authentication Login: your email address from your IMAP settings Password: Your password Optional: Store password Encryption: TLS, Plain
