Recently, I suddenly encountered "SASL authentication failed", when trying to send an e-mail using Mutt 2.3.2 on Gentoo Linux ; earlier that day, I had sent several e-mails successfully & had made no changes in my hardware or software. I have used Mutt without serious problems since c 1998 .
At the end of .muttrc I have set ssl_starttls=yes set ssl_force_tls=yes set smtp_url="smtp://<me@myispaddress>:25" set smtp_pass="<my password>" My e-mail ISP denied that they had made any changes at their end, but the conversation was brief & I find it hard to believe : perhaps it was a small change which their man hadn't heard about. I've installed Thunderbird, which has no problem connecting, & have sent several e-mails successfully that way. However, Mutt suits my needs better & I'ld like to go on using it. Can anyone suggest anything I might try in order to restore access ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatcadotinterdotnet
