SMTP authentication tip

Post by llimllib »

If you use an SMTP server with what kmail calls "Login" authentication like I do, I don't believe there is a configuration option in the menu to make this work. So, to make it work, I edited my prefs.js file, changing the option

user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.auth_method", 1);

to

user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.auth_method", 2);

This made everything work fine. I hope before they release .1 that this will be fixed.

I've got multiple installations of apps from the Mozilla family (Moz itself, Phoenix, T-bird, etc.). How do I know which copy of prefs.js Thunderbird will be using?

Thanks.

Early builds used your Mozilla profile(s), but that changed a week or so ago. The patched-trunk build I did last night created a .thunderbird directory for me ...
