Under options --> writer --> serial e-mail a connection without SSL is working perfectly. Trying to establish a SSL-connection ends with an error although serveraddress and password are valid. This is the message: <class 'smtplib.SMTPServerDisconnected'>: Connection unexpectedly closed, traceback follows /usr/lib/python3.3/smtplib.py:374 in function getreply() [raise SMTPServerDisconnected("Connection unexpectedly closed")] /usr/lib/python3.3/smtplib.py:321 in function connect() [(code, msg) = self.getreply()] /usr/lib/python3.3/smtplib.py:240 in function __init__() [(code, msg) = self.connect(host, port)] /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/mailmerge.py:99 in function connect() [self.server = smtplib.SMTP(server, port,timeout=tout)] The message is the same under Win 7 and Linux Mint.

slightly different error message in Win 7 <class 'smtplib.SMTPServerDisconnected'>: Connection unexpectedly closed, traceback follows C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 4\program\python-core-3.3.3\lib\smtplib.py:374 in function getreply() [raise SMTPServerDisconnected("Connection unexpectedly closed")] C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 4\program\python-core-3.3.3\lib\smtplib.py:321 in function connect() [(code, msg) = self.getreply()] C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 4\program\python-core-3.3.3\lib\smtplib.py:240 in function __init__() [(code, msg) = self.connect(host, port)] C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 4\program\mailmerge.py:99 in function connect() [self.server = smtplib.SMTP(server, port,timeout=tout)]
Which server / port? I've encountered the same problem for a mail account at strato (smtp.strato.de, port 465, using ssl instead of starttls). It's possible to solve this issue by modifying mailmerge.py. Details depend whether the smtp server expects SMTPS or STARTTLS.
