Help connecting to icloud after upgrade

[Jamie Allen]

Greetings

Thanks for any advice on this. After an upgrade of Opensuse, offlineimap required the cert fingerprints to be replaced in .offlineimaprc (not sure why?)

Anyway - despite having updated with the fingerprint offered by imap.mail.me.com - it still fails to connect, with the following error :

Establishing connection to imap.mail.me.com:993
PLAIN authentication failed: [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed
LOGIN authentication failed: command: LOGIN => socket error: <type 'exceptions.IOError'> - Too many read 0
ERROR: All authentication types failed:
	PLAIN: [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed
	LOGIN: command: LOGIN => socket error: <type 'exceptions.IOError'> - Too many read 0
*** Finished account 'home' in 0:05
ERROR: Exceptions occurred during the run!
ERROR: All authentication types failed:
	PLAIN: [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed
	LOGIN: command: LOGIN => socket error: <type 'exceptions.IOError'> - Too many read 0

Traceback:

    "failed:\n\t%s" % msg, OfflineImapError.ERROR.REPO)


.offlineimaprc entry reads :

[Repository remote-home]
remotehost = imap.mail.me.com
remoteuser = xxx
remotepass = xxx
type = IMAP
ssl = yes
cert_fingerprint = ca63a1b71691dde647ee61e20dc7e242052db8c0


....I have drawn a blank on trying to fix this. Please help!!

With thanks
