Problem description: I enter my email information including what is required to authenticate me copying this information directly from my email client, Thunderbird. But when I test the settings, LibreOffice freezes. I use Gmail. OS: Ubuntu 12.04 LST 64 bit. Steps to reproduce: 1. Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > Mail Merge Email 2. Copy the User information and Outgoing Server Settings 3. Check Use Secure connection (SSL) 4. Click Server Authentication button. 5. Check the box at the top. 6. Select this option button: The outgoing mail server (SMTP) requires separate authentication. 7. Copy server information from Thunderbird, and click OK. 8. Click the Test Settings button. LibreOffice freezes after approximately 5-10 seconds. Current behavior: I get the same results using LibreOffice 3.5.7.2, 3.6.5.2, 3.6.6.2 and 4.0.1.2. I have verified that the password entered is the one required to access Gmail on the Google website.I use IMAP with Google if that matters. Expected behavior: When the Test Settings button is clicked, I should get a message stating the test was successful or at least a hint of what went wrong. Operating System: Ubuntu Version: 3.5.7.1 rc
Confirming also on LO 4.0.2.2, 3.6.5 on OSX 10.8.3 This used to work in 3.3.x (although I haven't tested recently). It also might be a DUP of a previously entered report (will have to look). Alex
CC: Caolan - does this ring a bell ? Alex
When running LO master from gdb, I see this BEFORE and that's where it is seemingly stuck Alex
Dan, If you set up your connection as follows : Server name : imap.gmail.com Port : 25 Use secure connection (SSL) Do not fill in the Server Authentication dialogue Does the test then work ? It does on my master build of LO. Alex
Dan, For gmail, these are the settings that worked for me : SSL option ticked smtp.googlemail.com Port 25 Under "Server Authentication" Tick "Outgoing mail server (SMTP) requires authentication" Select "The outgoing mail server requires separate authentication" User name : enter full Gmail address here, including the @gmail.com Password : fill in with password No need to configure the Incoming Mail Server options Alex
I couldn't figure out the way to have mailmerge working with my Gmail SMTP but when I did the debug of the mailmerge.py script I've discovered that a SSL connection isn't handled properly. At the line where the server object is created I found: self.server = smtplib.SMTP(server, port,timeout=tout) but in case of SSL connection the correct statement should be: self.server = smtplib.SMTP_SSL(server, port,timeout=tout) So, I did this simple change and my Gmail SMTP (smtp.gmail.com) works perfectly on port 465. I didn't even checked the "Use SSL" checkbox in the mailmerge configuration windows. I think a good patch should make a choice between smtplib.SMTP and smtplib.SMTP_SSL according to the "Use SSL" checkbox. Cheers. Andrea
