[SOLVED] xfce4-mailwatch not working anymore ?

sushi · 2019-09-30 12:12:30

Hi,

I don't know if I'm the only one but since few days (surely since 26 oct.) the plugins don't work on my two machines without showing any errors. Can someone confirm or infirm ?

I'm on imaps 993 but no mail are detected.

Thanks.

Is that Gmail? They block less secure applications: https://support.google.com/accounts/ans … 0255?hl=en

Thanks but it's not Gmail and still not working.

A precision, I'm on Arch fully up to date.

I found that the problem comes from the way the webmail provider has changed the authentication way. I should change the authentication way from "Normal password" instead of "Encrypted password" in thunderbird but there no such option in xfce4-mailwatch-plugin. So what to do ?

There is a option in the .rc file but I don't see any reference about :

auth_type=1

I think "0" (zero) is no encryption, then "1" and "2" is either TLS or SSL.

You're right but as it look, there is no authentication option on how to login "Normal password" instead of "Encrypted password" like Thunderbird.

xfce4-mailwatch-plugin is very old and need to be actualized like the xfce4-weather-plugin did not long ago...

Since this afternoon the plugin is working again, it's sounds like the problem was on the side of the webmail because I haven't changed anything since yesterday.

Thanks.
