I'm working on mail application and encountering a big problem with Python imaplib.
Here is the code that I try to use to login to mail server.
M = imaplib.IMAP4(self.server,int(self.port))
M.login(self.user, self.password)
I'm using "port 143"
, "useSLL = false"
, no secure
.
And here is the message that I receive when trying to login to server.
DEBUG:root:Login failed.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/IMAPmailbox/bin/get_imap_email.py", line 347, in getMail
M.login(self.user, self.password)
File "/opt/splunk/lib/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 520, in login
raise self.error(dat[-1])
error: Login failed.
None

imapProc.getMail()

raise LoginError('Could not log into server: %s with password provided' % self.server)
__main__.LoginError: Could not log into server: (my server) with password provided
p/s: I have another mail application which get emails throw imap on ruby and it's working fine with port 143 no secure.
Anyone please help me to solve this problem. Thanks
