1.)
"PasswordAuthentication no + UsePAM no" worked

I got a respond:  "...Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive)."

this focuses on disabling password-based authentication and the PAM system, 
leaving the door open for other authentication methods that don't rely on 
passwords.

What other authentication methods that don't rely on passwords are?

2.) but so did:
"PasswordAuthentication no + KbdInteractiveAuthentication no"

I got a respond:  "...Permission denied (publickey)"

This also disables password-based authentication but goes further by explicitly 
turning off keyboard-interactive authentication.
This makes the authentication process non-interactive and relies on methods 
like public key authentication.

It seems to me, second method is preferred.

none of them mentioned "usePAM no" need to be enabled

All of the mtp implementations I've tried were user-space filesystems,
so for those you will need Fuse enabled in the kernel. There may be
MTP clients that act more like remote filesystem browsers and don't
use an unerlying Fuse filesystem. It would be cool if someting like
Filezilla spoke MTP.

The "no From:" complaint could be fixed by specifying in your muttrc:

set from = "waltd...@waltdnes.org"

The gnutls error is more cryptic.  You'll have to check what certificate is 
sent by the server to deduce what causes the gnutls message.  You can try 
connecting to the server with the openssl s_client:

openssl s_client -connect smtp.ebox.ca\:587 -starttls smtp -showcerts

or with gnutls-cli:

gnutls-cli --starttls-proto smtp smtp.ebox.ca -p 587

then try to negotiate a connection:

ehlo there
...
Ctrl+D

Gnutls should run starttls and when you enter "Ctrl+D" it will print out what 
in particular it has a problem with.

The openssl attempt will show the certificates and you can check the whole 
chain, in case you missing a certificate.  As long as the CA certificate is in 
your /etc/ssl/certs/ there shouldn't be a problem.

Alternatively, add the server certificate(s) in '~/.mutt/certificates' and 
specify this path by setting 'set certificate_file' in your muttrc.  The first 
time you try to connect to your server mutt should warn you if there is a 
mismatch between the server's certificate and your SMTP server domain CN 
field, or anything else.  It will ask you to accept it and allow you to 
proceed with the connection.

I've been using KDE Connect for quite awhile, you should give it a shot.  It's 
in the main gentoo portage tree, and once you install it, it'll give a link to 
the android apk in the install completion info.

Forgot to add, KDE Connect opens a port on your computer and phone for the app 
to connect, it uses my WiFi, so no need for a transfer cable of any kind.

The phone auto-mounts as soon as you switch Android to 'file transfer'

MTP can be a bit tempermental if that's what's being used. It's been
around for enough years that it should "jsut work", but that's still
no my experience, even with recent phones. I usually fire up an sftp
server on the phone and do file transfers via Wifi. I find it to be

If all else fails,  you could use "adb"  from package "dev-util/android-
tools".   However,  "adb" requires "USB Debugging"  to be enabled on the
cell phone.   This option can be found under  "Settings -> Developer Op-
tions"  (if the "Developer Options"  are still hidden  in the "Settings"
menu,  make them visible once and forever by opening  "Settings -> About
Device -> Software Information" and tapping "Build Number" seven times).

The phone is a Samsung A14 5G ; its pet name is Athene.
I use KDE to manage my desktops on my desktop machine ANB6.

I've tried doing it with Manjaro & it works.  It is vital
to have Athene awake when the USB connection is plugged into ANB6 :
a notice pops up asking to 'Allow', which I did.
Manjaro puts up its own notice, announcing a new device & asking what to do ;
I opened it in Dolphin, which shows Athene's Gallery
under  GalaxyA145G -> Internal storage -> DCIM -> Camera ,
which lists the photo images ;
Dolphin can then copy them to its own file system readily
& Gwenview shows them correctly.

Normally on Gentoo, I mount devices -- eg USB sticks -- by hand,
ie 'mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb' or 'musb' for short (via  .bashrc ).
I've looked at KDE device settings under  Hardware -> Removable Storage ,
checked the box 'on attach' & tried with each of the  3  offerings,
ie 'All known / Attached / Disconnected Devices', but no joy.

Athene shows a recharging message, but nothing else happens, incl in ANB6
On my phone (ancient Motorola, running an ancient version of Android) 
when I plug it in, not only does it say it is charging, but it also says 
how it is connected and tap to change.  Are you sure the phone itself is 
in MTP mode or (I've forgotten the name) which is the one I think more 
likely to need the full path you showed above.  You might hunt through 
the phone settings to find one which controls how it connects.  Note I 
say this to be compulsive, since it works under Manjaro.  As another bit 
of info, how is it identified by lsusb?

This works for me

Though sometimes I've had problems, fixed in the latest sources
available from  but the Gentoo
