I've looked everywhere for a solution to this problem. When I try to send an email from kmail I get the following message:
Sending failed: Authentication failed. Most likely the password is wrong. The server responded: "authorization failed (#5.7.0)" I can receive emails and I can send them from the webmail client. The settings in kmail are correct and worked fine last week. I've checked with the service provider and no settings for the smtp server have been changed. No one else in the lab is having problems sending emails. It seems to me that the problem is in my laptop. But I've no clue where to look. On Friday I did an emerge --update --deep world, followed by etc-update (nothing obvious changed) then emerge --depclean, revdep-rebuild, but nothing was emerged or changed that looked like it would affect the network settings (apart from dhcpcd, but I tried reverting to the previous version, but it made no difference). Obviously something did change! But what I don't know. Last night I redid the whole thing with --newuse to see if that would fix the problem no joy.
