Also a late comer to this thread.... But I have a question....
I see from your emails on the thread your email is
hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu. It would seem to indicate that when you
connect to the Web Client you may enter "hennebry" as your username?
Is that the case? Or, is your username really "Michael.Hennebry" as
defined in your fetchmailrc?
Michael.Hennebry(a)ndsu.edu is a different account
with different administrators.
With this account, I have direct access to
my inbox and could use scp if I wanted.
I have, on occasion, vi-ed it.
The other thing....the web pages at
nodak.edu would seem to suggest
that
you have to request IMAP access from the IT department before they
enable it. Is that the case? Have you contacted the IT department to
If so, I missed it in the rat's nest that is ITS help.
Would you point me to it?
Sometimes, by the time I find something,
I'm too *aarrrg* to do much with it.
ensure it has been enabled for your account?
Do you happen to have a smart phone, or access to a smart phone, to test
using a different mobile device?
I might have access.
The problem seems to be a straight forward "failure to
authenticate".
