-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Heres how I set it up for my test Under Settings->configure Kmail->sending->add Name : <whatever u want it name it> Host : smtp.gmail.com Port : 587 Precommand: <leave empty> Check Server requires authentication Login: : <emailid>@gmail.com Password : <your password> Click on the security tab Select TLS and PLAIN, or you can click <check what my server supports> click ok and try it again. If this doesnt work, i would suggest you try it with another email client or another email client from behind another ISP. Arun wmeler wrote:
Arun, I saw something just like that. So does that mean it's clearly in how I've configured kmail?
Thanks, wmeler

Trying 64.233.185.109... Connected to smtp.gmail.com. Escape character is '^]'. 220 mx.gmail.com ESMTP 6sm1647118wrh
that means it is able to connect but theres some configuration issue. u can come out of that by press ctrl and ']'
if it doesnt that means ur ISP is blocking it

1) Thanks everyone! Still working this... 2) Did the error message I posted earlier (which I got from kmail) mean anything to anybody? Here it is again, just in case:
Sending failed: Timeout on server smtp.gmail.com 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: wmeler@gmail.com
That last line looks like the key to solving this problem, but I don't know what it means.
