Email account {cfg.get('account_name') or account or 'defaul

Error message

Email account {cfg.get('account_name') or account or 'default'} has no SMTP configured

What it means

Raised by _smtp_connect when the cfg it received (loaded from the account argument or the default config) fails the same _smtp_ready() check. It is the low-level guard hit after _resolve_send_config already returned a cfg — typically when callers pass cfg directly.

Solutions

1. Ensure the cfg passed to _smtp_connect comes from _resolve_send_config (which validates and falls back), not a hand-built dict
2. Fill in the missing SMTP fields on the account/config
3. Check that SMTP password decryption succeeds — an empty decrypted value leaves smtp_password falsy

Example fix

# before
conn = _smtp_connect(account, cfg=imap_only_cfg)
# after
account, cfg = _resolve_send_config(account)
conn = _smtp_connect(account, cfg=cfg)

if cfg is None or not _smtp_ready(cfg):
    _, cfg = _resolve_send_config(account)

def smtp_cfg_ready(cfg: dict) -> bool:
    return bool(cfg) and _smtp_ready(cfg)

try:
    _smtp_connect(account, cfg)
except ValueError as e:
    if 'no SMTP configured' in str(e):
        account, cfg = _resolve_send_config(account)
        _smtp_connect(account, cfg)
    raise

When it happens

Trigger: _smtp_connect(account, cfg) invoked with a cfg dict missing smtp_host/smtp_user/smtp_password, or _smtp_connect(account) where that account has no SMTP fields.

Common situations: Code paths that build a partial cfg from IMAP-only data and forward it to the send path; account rows where the encrypted SMTP password failed to decrypt into smtp_password.
