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
My situation is that I can receive just gangbusters with SM2. But it
refuses to send, giving the SMTP-AUTH message. However, the server
settings show no security, no Auth.
Let me know if you get it working and most of all, how you did it.
I think that may be your problem, you have to match your settings to the server,
if it wants auth you have to provide it. Since I don't know what your server
wants I can't be sure, but there's a reasonable possibility that you need to
configure auth. Not only that, but secure auth, like TLS+SSL (I forget the exact
choice in the list), but it's not the checkbox, it's the menu about 1/3 down the
screen.
Thanks. I will try that one.

I am experiencing similar problems, and went so far as to ask our
systems people at the University of Delaware to check it out; they
downloaded Seamonkey 2.0 and couldn't get it to work with our servers
with any combination of settings (Seamonkey 1.x worked fine). I also
have been unable to get the SMTP settings to work with Speakeasy's SMTP
server (my isp), which had no problem with Seamonkey 1.x; I tried
authentication on and off, as well as playing with multiple options. So
far, the only SMTP server that's worked for me is google. Are there
some compatibility issues in the new setting options? Thanks for any
suggesitons....Tom
