Thanks for your answer! With respect to the 2014 post, for the mbsync part, I had to change ,---- | UseIMAPS no | UseTLSV1 no `---- to this ,---- | SSLType IMAPS | SSLVersions TLSv1.2 `---- and also add the port as you have in the example you just gave. And now I also see that for the local dovecot, you have ,---- | AuthMechs LOGIN `---- which was not the case in the blog post. This may be why I was getting an authentication failure. I will try again with this updated configuration (my next scheduled session to play with this is next week-end!). Do you remember having also updated dovecot.conf or other things?
