Help connecting to icloud after upgrade

[Jamie Allen]

Greetings once again

Fixed! I downgraded the Opensuse RPM of offlineimap from 6.5.5 to 6.5.3. I can now authenticate with icloud again. Yipppeeee!

This does, however, beg the question of what it is in the upgrade to 6.5.5 that breaks icloud? ...as it looks as if upgrading from here on in isn't going to be possible!

With thanks

Jamie

It is the upgrade to 13.2 that has broken it. What libraries or modules should I try swapping out to see which is causing the problem? I've tried replacing imaplib - but that hasn't worked. Suggestions?
