Mbsync and imap login problem


Author: Solène

NILI have not found any answer about this so I share my fixed. I wanted

to use mbsync with one IMAP server and encountered the following

error.


IMAP command 'AUTHENTICATE DIGEST-MD5' returned an error: NO Authentication failed


A fix is to add the following to your ~/.mbsyncrc IMAPAccount

declaration.


AuthMechs LOGIN


Using LOGIN instead of DIGEST-MD5 is still secure **if** you have an

encrypted connection (IMAPS or STARTTLS). The login will be given

plaintext inside the connection.
