Giving up on configuring to send e-mails. No matter what I try, it can't authenticate to my mail server. "Password mismatch" though it works without problems when I connect with my normal e-mail client, so I know the password is correct. I tried putting the password as PASSWORD and without the backticks in app.ini, no luck.

SOLVED: The key in app.ini is named PASSWD not PASSWORD.

By the way, I started using in my because of your many posts about it (not only this thread). So, thank you! 😁

    @jwildeboer Just a silly question, do you have any special characters(#,*...) that may need escaping or special backticks?

    @jwildeboer @piratehonk if required, add "auth_debug_passwords = yes" to your dovecont.conf to confirm what Forgejo sends:
    https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/debugging/debugging_authentication/
    Also, ensure no trailing whitespace or similar is treated as part of the password.

    I am running Forgejo Version: 1.21.11+1 as rootless container, in case you want to know.

    SOLVED: Typo from my side in the config file. Its is USER and PASSWD, not PASSWORD. Works now :)

    @jwildeboer We can probably blame Ken for that one. Always has bugged me.

    But I also got that working now. Note2Self: imap connections via TLS go to port 993 :) Now I can reply to issues on my forgejo repos via web or e-mail. Nice :)

    Should you also struggle with this, I documented my working settings at https://codeberg.org/jwildeboer/gists/src/branch/main/2024/20240421ForgejoMail.md FYI :)
