Package: kmail Version: 4:4.0.82+svn819867-1 Severity: important Hi, Kmail cannot use sasl auth in a standard KDE 4 installation, as there is no dependency on libsasl2-modules, which provides the authentication mechanisms "LOGIN, PLAIN, ANONYMOUS, NTLM, CRAM-MD5, and DIGEST-MD5".
If the library is not present you will get an error from the mailserver saying that there was "no worthy mech found". In KDE 3.5 Kmail installed libsasl2-modules because of its dependency to kdebase-kio-plugins which had a dependency on libsasl2-modules. "apt-cache rdepends libsasl2-modules" does not reveal any KDE4 packages beeing dependant on this library.
