I am running F18. But suddenly this morning my e-mail clients claim
not to accept my server passwd.
When I open evolution it asks for a passwd whxih it has never done before. My usual mail
server passwds do not work.'
Thunderbird claims that my login or passwd is wrong. Where the login is my e-mail
address.
My mail servers are those from at&t. When I go ot the at&t web interface my email
address and server passwd works.
So I am very confused. Evolution did not owrk like this way yesterday or ever in the last
decade. What could be wrong?
maybe something has changed on the server or your client
settings and you are using a non-supported auth mechanism
usually you can telnet to a IMAP server and look at the
banner what is supported
[harry@srv-rhsoft:~]$ telnet localhost 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
