my specific issue was upon imaps login and mailbox access to fastmail.fm (mail.messagingengine.com). i am not sure if they employ a nonstandard configuration, assume it is compliant imaps as advertised. upon logging in i would just get a "sasl error" in red text in the mutt status bar. this is not a credential issue - my username and passphrase are correct in my .muttrc.
for now i have replaced edgy with etch, so i cannot reproduce at this time. fastmail.fm offers free accounts with imaps access, you should be able to reproduce given this, and then do more intelligent diagnosis if you wish. i also understand if you conclude that i just screwed this up somehow, although i was using a fresh edgy beta install at the time. thanks for your attention colin brad -- edgy beta - mutt sasl authentication broken https://launchpad.net/bugs/65821 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
