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!
