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(a)gmail.com or youremail(a)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
