Bug 187832 – mail-client/sylpheed does not work anymore with Gmail SMTP ( related : # 186075 )

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description nr16020 2007-08-05 17:30:20 UTC]

Sylpheed does not work anymore with Gmail SMTP, it is not possible to send email properly anymore (as in, sending works, but there is an error popup and the email is not saved in the Sent folder).
There was probably a change in Gmail SMTP service or in Sylpheed itself that broke Sylpheed/Gmail. However, the newer 2.4.4 version has a workaround but is not present in portage.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
prerequisite : having a gmail account and using sylpheed to access it
1. write a new mail using that gmail account
2. click "send

Actual Results:  
email is sent ; popup with "an error occurred" appears ; the email is not saved in the Sent folder

Expected Results:  
email is sent and the email is saved in the Sent folder

############### workaround, solution, new version ###################
sylpheed 2.4.4 fixes the problem.
BTW, renaming the 2.4.3 ebuild to 2.4.4 works, at least here.
