Dear Kevin,

again thanks for your quick reply.

I think this is the issue. That string I was referring to before is
not the password as defined in my muttrc file. Entering :set
?imap_pass displays that string, so onionmail.org seems to be changing
the password for some reason. Why is it accepting k9-mail and not mutt
puzzles me...

Could you maybe try and create an account at onionmail.org (takes less
than 1 min) and tell me whether you succeed? I tried using sasl but it
didn't help.

In any case, thanks for your time!
