I am confused by this, I have installed a lot of new pkgs and followed some tutorials after googling but I keep getting this kind of SASL -err. I am not sure whether the mistake is in some Gmail settings or should I check some settings in Ubuntu?
I thought this tutorial here would have solved this problem (i am simply trying to set up local mail reading with mutt, using gmail) but I cannot see the instructed things with telnet: "250-STARTTLS 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN" so that is why it is not working.
$cat .muttrc
set imap_user = "[email protected]"
set imap_pass = "pass"
#set smtp_url = "smtp://[email protected]:465/"
set smtp_url = "smtp://[email protected]:587/"
set smtp_pass = "pass"
set from = "[email protected]"
set realname = "name"
set folder = "imaps://imap.gmail.com:993"
set spoolfile = "+INBOX"
set postponed="+[Gmail]/Drafts"
set move = no
