Hello all,
I'm currently reviewing SM2 and when I installed it I told it to import
the settings from my existing SM1 installation.
All email accounts got imported, along with the SMTP server definition.
While I can send emails just fine in SM1, I always get an error when
sending emails with SM2.
The error says this:
Unable to authenticate to SMTP server SERVER_NAME. The serer does not
support any compatible insecure authentication mechanism but you have
chosen insecure authentication. Try switching on secure authentication
or contact your service provider.
I tried turning on TLS or even SSL, but none of these are provided by
the given server.
What I find weird is that it worked and continues to work fine in SM1.
Obviously, some option has been removed/disabled in SM2, but which one?
Is there a way to reactivate it?
Thanks
It's a known bug, you have to disable secure authentication.
It even says so on the SM2 page that loads after the initial
installation. It's Under "known issues" or whatever.
I don't know why this preference was changed. It never used to be
enabled in previous versions.
But you got to love these guys, they work their guts out for us
all, for very little thanks or recognition. Even with my
"Importing multiple SM 1.x identities into SM2" migration blues, I
still think they have done an amazing job.
Anyway, this should do the trick for you.

Happy webing. (:
