Re: Kontact/kmail logfiles

I have been receiving the following message or variations since Friday (Oct
12).  This is on a Gmail account.  I also have an account on an MS Exchange
2007 server that was giving SSL related errors.  I turned off SSL and the
Exchange messages are sent.

I had tried two times to reply to this message with the suggestion of
turning off SSL hoping that Gmail would respond as Exchange did.  However
this is the message I receive.

Failed to transport message. Your SMTP server does not support PLAIN.
Choose a different authentication method. The server responded: 5.7.1
Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at 5.7.1

The suggested answer is not available.  I also was receiving messages
indicating incorrect user ID and password, when nothing had changed.

I too was receiving the prompt for password within Kmail on Friday.  Since
Monday I have seen the prompt sporadically or at least in a way that I
cannot determine a pattern.

My suggestion and this error message may not even be related to Russ's
issue.

FYI, I am sending this from within Gmail as Kmail refuses to send through
Gmail.
