trouble with sending emails from alternate email account

[Ranjan Maitra]

Hi,

I am using the browser (sorry) to send this e-mail because I am no longer able to send email from mutt from anything other than my office account (which uses smtp and is delivered via postfix). 

So, here is what I have in my .muttrc at the very end.

folder-hook .      'unset smtp_url'
folder-hook '(mutt|R|fedora|postfix|fetchmail|openbox|sylpheed)' 'set from = t...@email.com; set smtp_url="smtps://t...@email.com@smtp.mail.com:465/"; set smtp_pass="xxxxxxxxxxx"; set envelope_from_address="t...@email.com"; set use_envelope_from=yes; set from = "t...@email.com"; set forward_format = "[FW frm %a:%s]"; set realname = ""; my_hdr Bcc: ""; set ssl_force_tls = yes; set ssl_starttls = yes'

 

The password is correctly entered (and this configuration worked fine, in the sense that it delivered email from this account a few weeks ago. This has not worked for a few weeks and I finally decided to try and see if anyone had suggestions. 

 

I am on Mutt 2.1.5 and on a full up to date Fedora 35.

 

I tried debugging and get.....
