OK - I added

,----
| auth_mechanisms = GSSAPI, CRAM-MD5, PLAIN, LOGIN 
`----

to the

,----
| [Repository RemoteRMKrugGMAIL]
`----

section and the error message is gone.

But I would like to try OATH2.

Now I would like to enable XOAUTH2 and I have all the clientid and
secret. But what is the "accountname" in

,----
| oauth2_client_id_eval = get_client_id("accountname")
| oauth2_client_secret_eval = get_client_secret("accountname")
`----

I tried my gmail address and the name of the project, but I still get
the same error message?

Is there a specific dependency for OAUTH2?
