SSL Encryption has failed

[walk_n_wind]

Hi,

 

I'm running Express Invoice on Ubuntu 9.04.

 

I've configured the Options->Other->Email Settings appropriately for sending emails via gmail over SMTP:

 

SMTP mail host: smtp.gmail.com:587

[x] Server requires authentication

User Name: xxxx

Password: xxxxx

[x] Use secure connection (SSL/TLS) if available

 

However, when I select an invoice from the invoices list, and click the "Email" button, I get the following error message:

 

"SSL Encryption has failed as Express Invoice cannot detect libssl.so or libcrypto.so on your machine."

 

These libraries, however, can be found in /usr/lib. Why can't Express Invoice find them? Might anyone know how to remedy this situation? Thanks!

I also use Gmail and mine works fine from WIndows vista, however I notice for your smtp server you have this

 

SMTP mail host: smtp.gmail.com:587

 

In mine I only have this SMTP

 

mail host: smtp.gmail.com

 

all other setteings as as per yours, maybe you could also try port 465 or how I have my one setup and see if that works..

Thanks for the reply - unfortunately, if I set my SMTP mail host as you did (smtp.gmail.com), I immediately get the following error window when I try to e-mail an invoice:

 

"Unable to connect to mail server "smtp.gmail.com."

 

And if I set my SMTP mail host to smtp.gmail.com:465, I get the following error window after a bit of time:

 

"Mail server not responding"

 

All very interesting behavior...

I just did a little more research, and it appears that Express Invoice for Linux wasn't even linked against openSSL during its build. Unless I'm missing something, I have no hope of emailing via GMail with the Linux version of Express Invoice:
