Hello, I just found a setting that said "allow less secure apps" and I enabled that and now I can use mutt.
But I have a strange problem. With the latest mutt I cannot see this email, if I use neomutt, I can - that's what I am uding now. I used the letter c to change to "All Mail" and I still cannot find this email. I'll work on it. At least I have email now. Best to all, David On 20/12/21 10:07PM, D.J.J.
