OK, so after a bit more experimentation the symptoms are as follows: I have 2 accounts which I am switching between with account-hook. Both use smtp_url: the first just straight SMTP, the second is SMTPS (the GMail account). Both use SASL authentication for SMTP. If I set smtp_url to the first account and then switch to the second account and set smtp_url there, authentication fails. If I start mutt without smtp_url set and then switch to the second account, or open that account directly (both of which involve just 1 set smtp_url), authentication succeeds. If I set smtp_url to the second account and then switch to the first account and set smtp_url there, authentication succeeds. -- Chris Burdess
