Bug ID: 373870
Summary: Kmail tries to use a proxy server to retrieve email
Product: kmail2
Version: unspecified
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kdepim-b...@kde.org
Reporter: kwanza.p...@virginmedia.com
Target Milestone: ---
The latest version of Kmail2 5.4.0 tries to use my squid proxy server to
retrieve email, which of course fails because squid cannot handle imaps/pop3s
protocols. I can see this in my squid logs which has entries like " ...
TCP_DENIED/403 3853 CONNECT imap.gmail.com:993 - HIER_NONE/- text/html". So I
specifically added imap.gmail.com to the exception list in the NO_PROXY
environment variable. Now Kmail merely hangs in offline mode and can never
comment to the any mail server I specify. Just to clear, I can connect to the
mail servers using webmail (e.g. via firefox).
Earlier versions of kmail did not exhibit this behaviour. They would not use to
use the proxy settings for konqueror and simply bypassed the proxy server. I
noticed that another mail client (geary) also has the habit of using the proxy
environments, but it then behaves well if the exceptions are set. Kmail does
not.
My kde components are mainly compiled from source under OpenSUSE 42.2. The
versions are:
- kmail2 5.4.0 from kmail-16.12.0
- Plasma 5.8.4
- Frameworks 5.28.0
Thanks.
