Re: [Evolution] TLS/authenticated SMTP

[ben hall <bnh1 columbia edu>]

Plain authentication is definitely supported.
I've been (very disappointedly) using mozilla for months now because the 
university shifted to TLS and authenticated smtp and evolution didn't 
support it.  Mozilla pops up a box for a password and is definitely 
using TLS and Plain text.  Interestingly enough, when I try to "Check 
for supported types" under the authentication method section for the 
smtp preferences, all types are greyed out afterwards...  I'll keep 
digging i guess.

thanks,
ben
