Without any indication which server is affected this message is utterly useless. Note: My servers worked fine with secure auth until a few nightlies ago, so I'm still trying to figure out the exact issue that triggers that alert in my setup, but the useless message should be the same for everyone regardless. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable secure authentication for a server that does not support it. Actual Results: An alert saying "Mail server does not support secure authentication." was shown. Expected Results: An alert saying something like "Mail server mail.somewhere.org does not support secure authentication." should be shown.
