Description prrvchr 2016-04-17 21:11:30 UTC
Hi All,

After several unsuccessful connection attempt on my Gmail account (smtp.gmail.com port 465) we can see that the mailmerge.py file does not load the library SMTP_SSL but only SMTP

If I replace the line:
self.server = smtplib.SMTP(server, port, timeout=tout)
by:
self.server = smtplib.SMTP_SSL(server, port, timeout=tout)
in the file mailmerge.py the connection work fine.

Is it possible to change this file (mailmerge.py) to supports connections of type: SMTP and SMTP over SSL on port 465.

Thank you.

Hi, I can confirm the patch solved the issue of not being able to send e-mails via SMTP_SSL. However, it still lasts a considerable amount of time before the mails are actually sent. Maybe some routine in the Python script that times out before message handling starts?

I don't know if the problem can still be reproduced with last stable LO version 5.2.4 but if you got some solution, you can contribute by taking a look here:

Meanwhile, let's put this one to NEW since cpohle confirms there's a pb without the patch.

I've just noticed it's a dup of tdf#63388

The patch work fine for me, but need some Google Mail Account setting requirement:

Load: https://myaccount.google.com/security?utm_source=OGB#connectedapps

You must enable less secured application. Needed but apparently the connection is under SSL...
