Thanks to Robert Graf-Waczenski especially to Travis Beaty. I installed cyrus-sasl-plain and it works. Since gmail's SMTP uses PLAIN for its Authentication method, I think, by installing cyrus-sasl-plain solves the problem. I can send e-mails now. Thanks a lot.

Hello.

I had the same problem. Try installing the cyrus-sasl libraries (on the installation DVD, at least for 9.2). That seems to have fixed it for me.

Hope this Helps, Travis.

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.
