Re: [Evolution-hackers] IMAP preauthenticated

[Philip Van Hoof <spam pvanhoof be>]

Does the PREAUTH happen before or after the STARTTLS, or aren't you
using STARTTLS?

ps. You can break on this line to check what is in "buf". It's in
camel-imap-store.c around line 700 (mine is heavily patched, so the line
might differ).

static gboolean
connect_to_server (CamelService *service, struct addrinfo *ai, int
ssl_mode, CamelException *ex)
{
...
	if (!strncmp(buf, "* PREAUTH", 9))
		store->preauthed = TRUE;
...
}
