Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 805501

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::E-Mail, defect)

Description

[toby cabot]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0 Iceweasel/31.1.0
Build ID: 20140903121924

Steps to reproduce:

ZTE Open C, software FFOS_US_EBAY_OPENCV1.0.0B04, OS version 1.3.0.0, platform version 28.0

Set up an email account manually.  IMAP+SMTP.  The IMAP username is imapuser and the SMTP username is smtpuser.


Actual results:

IMAP login succeeded but SMTP SASL authentication failed.

The screen shows:

Invalid username or password.  Check for typos.
[bad-user-or-pass]

logcat shows:

server logs show:

Nov  2 21:34:05 ip-10-68-90-142 postfix/smtpd[18726]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed



Expected results:

If I decode the auth string "aW1hcHVzZXIAaW1hcHVzZXIAbm90bXlwYXNzd29yZA==" from the previous section it's using imapuser but it should be using smtpuser:

$ echo aW1hcHVzZXIAaW1hcHVzZXIAbm90bXlwYXNzd29yZA== | base64 -d - | hexdump -C

[Andrew Sutherland [:asuth] (he/him)]

Bug 805501 introduced support for separate IMAP and SMTP credentials starting in v2.0, this unfortunately won't work in v1.3.  I believe the Open C is upgradeable, although https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Developer_phone_guide/ZTE_OPEN_C is a bit nebulous.  http://paulrouget.com/e/openc/ might be more useful or other forums.

Thanks for the links, especially the paulrouget.com one.  I'm running 2.1 now and can email (after installing a cert or two)!
