Same error, I'm getting really frustrated here. Does anyone even monitor these posts? Has the project been abandoned? Is the error due to updates? I know I was using Mailspring successfully a few months back, but I had to reload my Linux OS. Newest version of Mailspring resulting in smtp authentication error. Help!!!

Yah I was just trying to set up email on my new computer and getting the same exact problem, its trying to test the SMTP by sending to a fake address and that is failing leaving me unable to add the account. In my case the provider is mailbox.org

Issues have migrated to the mailspring discourse, there is a discussion over there at:

https://community.getmailspring.com/t/account-set-up-fails-with-smtp-error/1625

There is a PR in place that just needs to be approved and implemented. Hopefully, a fix should be up very soon

Thanks so much for the update Glenn, I appreciate it!

from mailspring.

I installed the new version 1.10.7-1 yesterday. Quick note: It did not fix any sync issues with my existing setup. I had to delete the config directory and set up my account from scratch, then it worked. Thanks for the update :)

@mndscp Thanks for testing this and the confirmation that it worked after setting up the the account anew.
