I just got notice from earthlink that they are going to encrypted mail service. Of course they say absolutely nothing about using any mail client other than windows stuff.
So I try to setup for the authentication by gleaning info from their instructions for Eudora, Netscape, etc. Unfortunately I cant get anything sent via their servers.
My setup is for the smtpauth.earthlink.net server using TLS and CRAM-MD5 but no matter what I do I get an error 535 saying cant get authorization.During the setup I let Kmail determine what the server will accept and it says, TLS & CRAM-MD5.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong? Richard ==========
Richard, I don't recognize some of the things you have mentioned above, but basically setting up for Earthlink's authentication is a simple matter in KMail settings. I'm not sure if this will be of assistance either as my setup is only a simple POP thing. Go to menu>settings>configure kmail>network, then Sending tab. Click Modify on the server listed there and you will notice an area there for Server requires authentication. Check that and enter your email address and password to enter the ISP.
