by dan on Friday 26/Jan/2007, @03:58

I've recently been trying to use kontact has my personal information manager, and am unable to send e-mails using my gmail account, I've followed the instructions in gmail help site with all the correct port, username (with @gmail.com) TSL (or something called like that), but for some reason I never can send an email, only receive.

Thank you so much

Same problem here with some mail browsers. Though I can use my educational email account and prentend being somebody else... Wonder if I went wrong in configuration. It always sayd "no connection to computer mail.xxx.de".

Best place for this kind of comment / question is on the kdepim-users@kde.org mailing list, which is specifically for user questions about KMail and Kontact and whatnot.

I have it set-up and working here.

Go to: Settings > Configure KMail... > Accounts > Sending > Add > SMTP
- General Tab -
Name: Any name you want
Host: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 25

[x]Server requires authentication
Login: Your full email address
Password: Your password
[x]Store SMTP password

- Security Tab -
(x)TLS
(x)PLAIN

That's it. You can make it default if you want, to make sure it is used when you sent a new mail.
