I had similar problems recently when i upgraded my KDE 3.3 to 3.4. I was fooled by the new default behavior that KWallet is used to store POP & SMTP passwords. This yielded several error messages and i think that the one you mention below was among them (forgot the details, though). After some fiddling with the POP & SMTP server settings all is well now again on my box, i.e. upon KMail startup i have to supply the KWallet passord and KMail then has all necessary credentials to fetch & send mail. So i would suggest that you review all your server settings, especially the passwords and if the checkbox "save password" is checked correctly. I also had to switch off "SMTP server requires authentication" which i (think i) had accidentally switched on while i was initially confused. HTH, Robert

I use gmail as my POP and SMTP with Kmail. This setup was working recently but does not work now. I can receive e-mails but can not send. I already checked all the settings for SMTP but they are all correct. How can I fix this problem?
This is the error I get when sending email:
Sending failed: Authorization failed, An error occured during authentication: SASL(-4): no mechanism available: No worthy mechs found authentication not supported The message will stay in the 'outbox' folder until you either fix the problem (e.g. a broken address) or remove the message from the 'outbox' folder. The following transport protocol was used: artjuera@gmail.com
TIA
I am sending this message direct from Gmail's web-based client.
