I've been a happy user of Mutt for 25 years , helped by Fetchmail. Today -- in the midst of moving my home, of all times -- I realised that something had gone wrong & I wasn't receiving mail : e-mails were going out, but nothing was coming back.
I tried the Mutt 'G' command, which replied : "STLS: Mate, the command must be CAPA USER PASS QUIT ; no encryption". Of course, that wouldn't do, as it has to send out my password. I had rebooted on Friday after 28 days , so something must have changed. In fact, I had updated to 'openssl-1.1.1j' during that time, so I reverted to 'openssl-1.1.1i', remerged Mutt & rebooted. No change. Mutt version is 2.0.4-r1 , originally merged in 2020 ; Fetchmail is 6.4.8 ; '.fetchmailrc' says "sslproto '' options stripcr", which has been working properly for a long time. Looking in 'man fetchmail', I found an instruction for testing it, which suggested all I had to do was try entering 'fetchmail'. Yes, that downloaded all the stalled msgs ! So Fetchmail itself is working, but when Mutt calls it, something goes wrong. Can anyone offer a suggestion what that might be ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
