    Kmail can't send email???

    I was trying to configure my Kmail to work with my Gmail but after following all the correct steps , I can now receive mails but unable to send emails.

    i've checked my outgoing settings in Kmail , tried changing the ports fr 465 - 587 & used TSL . but still to no avail.
    Any suggestions ??

    Are you running a firewall; if so are the smtp ports open outbound? Guarddog for one doesn't include them in its protocol list, you have to add it as 'user defined'
    I am running Ubuntu 8.10 (yes Gnome) with upgrades applied daily about 0900 UK time. Hardware is Dell Precision 420, 2x 800 MHz PIII, 512 MB RDRAM, nVidia GeForce 6800 128 MB AGP graphics, 18GB SCSI and 500GB IDE HDDs, DVD burner, Hauppage TV card.

        No I don't think any firewall is enabled by default.

        Are you sure you've got the server address, your username, your password, and the encryption type (TLS or SSL) set correctly? The details are at http://mail.google.com/support/bin/a...y?answer=13287

        If that doesn't work, I can't help any further since I use neither Gmail nor KMail

            Hi,
            sometimes the internet provider requires that you use their smtp. For example I'm in canada and use VDN. I when I want to send e-mail with Kontact or Thunderbird, I must configure smtp.vdn.ca as outgoing server.
            Check that in your Internet provider,
            best,
            Marco

              Thanks guys for all the advice.
              i solved the prob . I jsut recreate a new outgoing profile using SSL protocol & everything works like a charm now.


              THANKS again. !!!!!
