Package: gnome-online-accounts
Version: 3.58.1-2
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: brian at owls.fyi
Following the latest update to gnome-online-accounts, the IMAP and
WebDAV/CalDAV/CardDAV accounts fail to connect.
I tried removing and recreating the entries in gnome-online-accounts, which did
not resolve the problem. At first, the configuration details seem to be
accepted. However, a moment later, gnome-online-accounts shows ERROR next to
each item in the list of accounts. Clicking on an IMAP account gets a request
to sign in again, with only the name and password field editable. After re-
entering the password, the dialogue shows:
Unexpected response `BAD "Must issue a STARTTLS command first"' doing LOGIN
authentication
Try Again
The accounts use SSL, not STARTTLS.
