Problem description: When I try to send documents through email, whenever I click the "Send documents" button, sometimes nothing happens, other times CPU usage goes high then libreoffice crashes. Steps to reproduce: 1. Follow mail merge wizard and in the last step choose send by e-mail. 2. It told me to set up an email account and I used my gmail account(Google apps). 3. I chose "plain text" as the format to send. 4. Click "Send documents" Current behavior: I've been trying since yesterday, it worked once. Expected behavior: The sending documents dialog should open showing progress. Operating System: Ubuntu Version: 3.6.2.2 release
Hi, 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
