--- Comment #39 from Justin L <jluth at mail.com> ---
Thanks to Jurassic Pork (comment 21) and prrychr (tdf#99363) for the 2016
patch. 

A few related changes have resulted in this situation for LO 6.1
-secure SMTP is now default with port 587 (StartTLS).
-POP3/IMAP also default to secure ports.
-Port 465 uses smtp_ssl (regardless of the setting labeled SSL, but which
actually implements StartTLS in the case of SMTP). SO, PORT 465 IS THE ONLY
PORT THAT LIBREOFFICE CAN USE FOR SSL SMTP.

So, I think this will take care of most of the concerns mentioned in this
report. I'm not going to mark this one as resolved since there are so many
different angles in this bug.

Todo:
1) The term "SSL" is correct for POP3/IMAP settings in the authentication
portion (right?), but for SMTP, "SSL" is different (and incompatible) with
"StartTLS". Consider the three-way logic of comment 18.

2) test smtp_ssl works on the shipping version of python (comment 32, 33, 34).
It works for me in Ubuntu 16.04 / 18.04.

3) LibreOffice freezes when clicking Test Settings button. That is the title of
this bug, although there was very little in the discussion about this specific
aspect.

If, after testing 6.1, there are still concerns about any of these topics, I
recommend opening a new bug about that one particular topic, and linking it
back to this report.
