My password contains a percent sign and an asterisk. Both of these symbols
seem to cause login errors with IMAP and PLAIN authentication. Some sniffing
reveals a simple password "ab" is sent like so:
C00001 LOGIN jasona ab
C00001 NO Login failed.
A percent sign causes the password to be sent differently, and the server
either doesn't respond or says "Error in IMAP command received by server".
C00002 LOGIN jasona {2+}
a%
An asterisk seems to cause the same sending format, but it also causes the
server to close the connection.
A00002 LOGIN jasona {2+}
a*
This is Evolution 2.10.3 on F7 talking to Courier on NetBSD (I think).
Is this a problem with my mailserver? My quick browsing of some RFCs didn't
show the {2+} syntax to be valid.
Is there a workaround besides changing my password?
Should I file a bug report?
