Re: [Fetchmail-users] IMAP< A0002 NO LOGIN failed

[Axel J. <axe...@tu...>]

I want to report back to this list about the problem I had with
accessing my account via fetchmail and IMAP.

It had nothing to do with fetchmail, and after many emails and countless
attempts to login to the mail server with different username
combinations I received this email from the KTH IT Support today:

>>>>> From KTH IT Support:
     You should not use any other settings then in the manual.
     ...
     When I think of it we have from time to time had problem with one or 2 users on mailboxserver level.
     What we then have done is to restart the imap service on a specific server. 
     I have tried this on the server where your mailbox is placed exdb06.
     I hope this will work.

And it worked. So restarting the server solved the issue.

Thanks to all who have tried to help me!
