Ever since the upgrade and migration, incoming e-mail works, but outgoing is a no-go. I've tried deleting my accounts and reconfiguring using the wizard or manually, I've tried using other smtp servers such as gmail. All sent e-mails just stay in Local Folders/outbox and never go anywhere. The "Default send method" is "Send Now".

On a test login on which I had never used KMail, sending e-mail works with the exact same server settings, after wizard setup. If I delete my $HOME/.kde folder and reconfigure KMail (and everything else in KDE), then e-mail sending works again, but I have no access to my old e-mails. I tried changing my MailDir folder to where my old e-mails are and forcing a migration by deleting some KMail migration files, but that gave me only my inbox back, no other folders.

I had two Imap accounts in KMail which I just tried deleting but this didn't help.

Any ideas how I can send e-mail from KMail AND keep my old e-mails? I cannot figure out what is preventing KMail from sending e-mails. I don't get any errors, they just sit forever in the outboox.

$ ll -d .kde/share/apps/kmail-migrator/migration.log

I fixed this by resetting all my KDE settings again, re-adding my primary mail account as a "KMail Mail Folder", then using the tip Local Folders is added over and over under KMail/FAQs Hints and Tips to stop the use of Local Folders. I didn't see the simple tip KMail2 doesn't send mail until my fix was well under way. If this worked, it would have been much simpler.

I had the same problem, email came in fine, but, no outgoing mail. All the email just sat in the outbox.

I checked your "KMail2 doesn't send mail" location, alexk, and the config file was correct, so I was about to do the clean instal and rebuild my complete KMail settings, when I had stopped the akonadi server, and the akonadi server plus the sql server dropped, I figured I'd test before going all Hari-Kari on my mail configs, and just restarted KMail. It actually worked. Ever since dist-upgrading, the akonadi and sql server have been active processes of 15-20% of my CPU usage, and once I stopped, and let akonadi start up again, its been all quiet. Just lucky I guess ?

I had also stopped the Akonadi server at one point and used most of the tips in Clean start after a failed migration. I don't believe that solved the problem for me at the time, but I'm not exactly sure any more of the sequence in which I did things, so it's possible it helped. I hadn't noticed any excessive CPU usage.

Just for the record, because I missed this thread. This way migration worked flawlessly for me:

    1. Dist upgrade which pulls everything for kmail2
    2. Let the kmail2 migration tool do it's work
    3. Quit kmail/kontact
    4. Relogin into a new KDE session
    5. Start kmail/kontact
