I am running F18. But suddenly this morning my e-mail clients claim not to accept my server passwd. When I open evolution it asks for a passwd whxih it has never done before. My usual mail server passwds do not work.' Thunderbird claims that my login or passwd is wrong. Where the login is my e-mail address.
My mail servers are those from at&t. When I go ot the at&t web interface my email address and server passwd works.
So I am very confused. Evolution did not owrk like this way yesterday or ever in the last decade. What could be wrong?

maybe something has changed on the server or your client settings and you are using a non-supported auth mechanism
usually you can telnet to a IMAP server and look at the banner what is supported
[harry@srv-rhsoft:~]$ telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL RIGHTS=texk NAMESPACE CHILDREN SORT QUOTA THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT UNSELECT IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=CRAM-MD5 AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN]

Did you by chance get an email from them with "Action Required" in the subject? A number of ISP mail services have had issues lately, Verizon "for security" changed to clear text for login and password exchange. Read that sentence again, yes they did. They also are threatening to disable POP3 and require use of POP3s (SSL secured), but I don't think that has happened yet, I still get spam in my VZmail on my cell.
If you are getting other mail okay, obviously that's not the problem, so consider this just a thought.

You should check to see that AT&T hasn't changed their server details. ==================== Josh Johnston fedorajosh@outlook.com ====================

Control of spam and control of email privacy/authentication are two different things. Using SSL won't in itself do anything to prevent spam.

If the old access were not working it would totally prevent spam, since I haven't converted the cell at this point, and would not get logged in. That's how I know they haven't actually done anything yet.

You not being able to log in does absolutely nothing to prevent spam. It might prevent you seeing it, but it won't prevent it from piling up in your account.
