Unfortunately, it appears that password restrictrions meaning I had to cho= ose two 'special' characters resulted in me choosing the £ \uA3 : '=C2=A3' character (decimal ASCII value 163). Changing the password to remove the \xA3 character from it fixed the proble= m . But I'd have no way of knowing that was the problem from anything written by GNUS . Some logs of IMAP commands of the server might have helped detect the probl= em ; anyway something more than '(inhibited)' or 'NO LOGIN failed.' ! What does 'NO LOGIN failed.' refer to anyway ? It is still unclear whether the '=C2=A3' char in the password was causing GNUS a problem or whether it was causing the MS-Exchange server a problem. Unfortunately,= the password restriction guidelines are not more clear about what 'special' characters are accepted. Is there anyway to get gnus to be more verbose about the SSL encrypted command / response traffic it is having with the server and precisely why it fails ? Maybe I should look at patching it to be more verbose when an IMAP error oc= curs. Thanks & Regards, Jason
