I just installed kmail5 replacing kmail4 and korganizer and kontact....

kmail4 would connect and send mail fine, but the same settings on kmail5 do not connect to smtp according to kmail's error notice. In fact, I cannot connect to any mail smtp services. Is there some magic incantation I am unaware?

Tumbleweed 20160121 kmail5-15.12.1-29.2.x86_64 kontact5-15.12.1-29.2.x86_64 korganizer5-15.12.1-29.2.x86_64 postfix-2.11.7-2.1.x86_64

Guess I should have included: akonadi_resources-15.12.1-29.2.x86_64 akonadi-server-15.12.1-15.1.x86_64 akonadi-contact-15.12.1-21.7.x86_64 akonadi5-15.12.1-21.7.x86_64

This may appear as bike-shedding, in this case please have patience. I had a case (do not know the reasons), where kmail had shifted to offline mode inadvertently. Did you check you are actually in online mode after the upgrade?

No, I did not, but checking now see that it *is* "online". I am just an occasional kmail user and really not familiar.

...

And did you restart the machine or the desktop (normally one does not do this, I know, but despite this "common knowledge" it sometimes solves things after an upgrade).

No, but will shortly. Not convenient atm.

tks, will report back.

Reporting back: Who'da thunkit. A *reboot* did make kmail5 work. It now will send mail. tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
