Bug ID: 435643
Summary: akonadi mail dispatcher agent fails to store the
password for smtp auth permanently
Product: kontact
Version: 5.16.80
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: mail
Assignee: kdepim-b...@kde.org
Reporter: mathias.hom...@opensuse.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
my mailaccounts all need smtp auth - kmail fails to remember the password, and
then takes several minutes to time out and retry
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. have a mail account that requires smtp auth
2. configure kmail accordingly
3. try to send mail
OBSERVED RESULT
kmail asks for the smtp password, then sits there for minutes doing nothing.
Finally a pop up appears, saying "the remote has closed the connection", after
that sending mail works fine until the next reboot.
EXPECTED RESULT
I would expect the checkbox "store password" to ... make kmail store the
password. Also, I'd expect kmail to immediately retry the sending process, not
after a timeout of several minutes.
