I've been able to access that server for literally a couple of yrs with the following code. (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnimap "hput3fm" (nnimap-address "imap.fastmail.com"))) And the credential in ~/.authinfo machine hput3fm login hput3@fastmail.fm password MY-PASSWD port imap force yes ------- ------- ---=--- ------- ------- On advice from fastmail I added: (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnimap "hput3fm" (nnimap-address "imap.fastmail.com") (nnimap-server-port 993))) They can't get past the notion that this is not being done on some nifty windows application and so I added the port they insisted on just in case it might help. It did not help. The uid and passwd has always been my login on their website. I recently had to change my passwd at the web login But in the course of this I found a new policy was put in place a while ago where to use fastmail servers, you need to get something they call an App passwd .. I guess they geared up to handle phones/tablets and whatever. So, I end up with 2 new passwds... one to access my fastmail acc and this new policy ... app passwd for .. apparently for smtp server or imap server. OK, so I got account passwd changed about a week ago, and got the `app passwd' on friday I think. I've been unable to access imap.fastmail.com ever since. I did try with both new passwds, making sure. I've been in touch with fastmail via a trouble ticket but so far their usefulness has been right up there with teats on a boar hog. They've told me to use the `App passwd' now. Of course I replied letting them know it was not working and waiting now to hear back. So any suggestions as to what I can do to learn more about why it is rejected? I don't see much in \*Messages\* I open another emacs window and go to \*Messages\* buffer, then in the other window, enter the server buffer, then at the `denied' flag on the fastmail server I do a Close followed by an open (C, then O) then a few moments, the `denied' flag reappears. But all that appears in the \*Messages\* buffer is: Opening connection to imap.fastmail.com via tls... That's it.
