Thank you very much... that was very informative. Unfortunately, I now |

had... When I correctly configure thunderbird, I get the following |

I'm sure I'm doing something silly - because googling the first warning |
36 |
just gives me this bug <http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=299390>, |
37 |
which doesn't seem to fit. I have this installed: |

If I alter thunderbird to not use secure authentication, I get the |
51 |
following instead. |

Which seems quite strange. |
69 |
|
70 |
My /etc/sasl2/smtpd.conf is the default for gentoo - i.e. it contains |
71 |
the single config line: |
72 |
|
73 |
> pwcheck_method:pam |
74 |
|
75 |
I don't care if I use PAM or something else - as long as it lets me |
76 |
authenticate. In the medium term, it would be best if neither IMAP nor |
77 |
SMTP passwords had any relation to my system password (not that I allow |
78 |
remote logins unsing it) - but, for the time being, I just want it to |
79 |
let me authenticate and send from my phone. |

By any chance can anyone give me any further clues? |
