Well, I did not test sending yesterday yet. I did it today. The result is , that one has to use application password also for smtp folder too. In fact I do not use imap_pass. Because I have many imap accounts I have to use folder hooks, and I set password using the syntax user:pass@host. If You use single variable for imap and smtp pass You have to modify only in once place. In any case sending works. On the other hand one could ask why not add to mutt the capability of sending verification code, obtained via SMS. I think it is the question rather to implementers of sasl library. Andrzej
