I access IETF mailing lists via IMAP and it stopped working for me

anyone else seeing similar problems? I’m attaching the debug output
for both authenticated and anonymous access. Any hints for
debugging?
Well, the logs are a good starting point.
Using authenticated login:
18:01:47 Retrieving password (keychain or user request)
18:01:50 C: A3 AUTHENTICATE PLAIN ••••••••••
18:01:50 S: A3 NO AUTHENTICATION has failed
18:01:50 Error: Server response: “A3 NO AUTHENTICATION has
failed”. Command attempted: “A3 AUTHENTICATE PLAIN
••••••••••”.
18:01:50 Retrieving password (keychain or user request)
18:01:51 Error: Failed to retrieve password for account.
You should have gotten a request for a new password here. Maybe that
didn't happen for some reason or it was just the output of the last
attempt for which you cancelled the requester...
It did ask for a password. I entered it each time. I confirmed
KeyChain Access has the right password and it appears the
•••••••• is the right length in the dialog box. Odd
that is says ‘failed to retrieve password’ isn’t it?
Using anonymous access:
18:02:34 Reusing latest used password
18:02:34 C: A46 AUTHENTICATE PLAIN ••••••••••
18:02:34 S: A46 NO AUTHENTICATION has failed
This is busy-looping for some reason. I'll try to reproduce that.
That's definitely not supposed to happen.
I'm not sure anything changed in MailMate though. I guess that could
easily be determined by trying an older release:
http://updates.mailmate-app.com/archives/
Tried rolling back to release 5344. Same behavior.
I tried connecting to the account myself and it seems there is a
problem with `AUTHENTICATE PLAIN`. There's a debug variable with
allows MailMate to fall back to `LOGIN` when this happens. This seems
to make it work for me:
~~~

15:42:10 S: C0 NO AUTHENTICATION has failed

It's enabled like this (don't worry about it mentioning Exchange):
defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmExchangeAuthPlainWorkaround
-bool YES
I’ll try it. Where do I set this?
Thanks for the assist.
