Re: [Evolution] No connection to IMAPX/SMTP with Password containing ö



Dear Milan,

thank you for the fast and good support. As suggested, I filed an issue in gitlab.gnome.org:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution-data-server/issues/168

Please let me know if I should copy more information from your E-Mail into the gitlab issue.

Have a good day,

Claudio

Is it possible that Evolution cannot work with passwords containing
ä, ö or ü?

 Hi,
I found a very old bug, closed a incomplete, discussing the same
problem:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=273626

There can be some misunderstanding of the password encoding, according
to the bug report. Evolution (or libcamel from evolution-data-server,
to be precise) uses UTF-8 encoding.

The PLAIN authentication uses UTF-8, according to
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4616

IMAP is more complicated, it doesn't say sou in the 4rev1 for the
LOGIN:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501#section-6.2.3
though there is some UTF-8 support, which can be advertised by the
server, especially UTF8=USER might be related:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5738#section-5

I cannot tell with SMTP.

A Dovecot bug (not related to Evolution itself) I noticed while
searching with Google:
https://forge.univention.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41937

You cannot see what is sent to the server with IMAP's debugging on,
credentials are intentionally hidden in the log.

It would probably help to open a new bug against evolution-data-server
and investigate this there. Knowing the exact server and its version
you connect to would also help. The place to open the bug is here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution-data-server/issues/new

 Bye,
 Milan
