mutt with SASL support

On slitaz4 I am using mutt to automatically send documents to my kindle.

Due to a new ISP the messages now need to be sent with TLS and SASL.

The mutt version in the repository was compiled without SASL support: (-USE_SASL)

~# mutt -vv

Hi emgi

I've pushed in the cooking repo: http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/rev/a27eb3726263,

but I haven't got access to the stable repo: abort: authorization failed?

Re: mutt with SASL support

Test report:

Installation went fine, no errors, new version is correctly reported.

File contents are added to /root/sent but when sending a message, the program exits with the following message: Error sending message, child exited 1 ().

This error message is displayed on the bottom line (status line) where it previously displayed the SASL error. I can then exit the program with i, q and the message is not sent.

Re: mutt with SASL support

Solved!

It turned out I had made a basic mistake while installing the new package:

Forgotten to save the config file /etc/Muttrc

Hence the new mutt was using default settings and missing login- and server details for my specific situation.

Fortunately I was able to recover the old file and I was able to send a message using these settings.

Paul's message triggered me to verify the configuration and that's when I discovered my mistake.

Now I am again able to send ebooks to my kindle.

Thanks everyone!

Re: mutt with SASL support

@emgi:

You have found a bug in the mutt package. The upgrade should not break your configuration files.

The fix: http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/rev/25551012e527
