Need Help
dear mutters:
sorry for disturbing you! I have been using mutt for several years.
now, I have switched from suse (I don't like it anymore) to ubuntu.
so far, everything was working fine, but now, the new mutt version
always reports SASL authentication failed. :-( I am using the same
muttrc on both systems, which I have also attached (but ID and
password are XXX-ed). any hint? is something wrong with the file?
on the suse system I am using Mutt 1.4i (2002-05-29)
on ubuntu Mutt 1.5.13 (2006-08-11)
just to repeat:
with Mutt 1.4i (2002-05-29) and the attached muttrc: ok
with Mutt 1.5.13 (2006-08-11) and the attached muttrc: :-((((
I have not installed any fetchmail or configured any sendmail, since
I am just reading emails. Also, I do not think that this might be
the reason for the problem, since the error is an SASL authentication error.
I would be grateful for any valuable hint!
many many thanks and best wishes, ralf
