Tonight I tried mutt for the first time on Edgy (with my fastmail.fm email account, so a similar situation to Brad), using the exact same mutt configuration I'm using successfully under Dapper, and I get that exact same problem: A SASL authentication error is displayed in red when mutt tries to connect to the fastmail imaps server.
A google search turns out this: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.mutt.devel/11618 but I'm not sure if this is related to this specific problem in Edgy since this is specific to cyrus-sasl -- edgy beta - mutt sasl authentication broken https://launchpad.net/bugs/65821 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
