My ISP just changed mail servers. What a pain. Before mutt was set to check my mail on the pop3 server. After changing servers in my ~~/.muttrc, mutt is now trying SASL auth and failing miserably. I can telnet to the mail server and issue the appropriate pop3 commands to list, retr, dele mail etc... However, mutt can't. The welcome message from the pop3 server does NOT have a tag in '<>' which is used with a digest algorithm to generate the APOP command, according to RFC for POP3. And it is only providing POP3 services for my ISP. Can someone tell me why mutt is trying to use SASL authentication with a pop3 server? I hope the answer is not to recompile this without SASL.
