imap-idle-channel-adapter store issue

[jvictor]

I need to connect to a imap-secure mail server and somehow I am getting a javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException , the same credentials work using the simple Java mail API client (I wrote a test class)

The following is the configuration in spring

 <mail:imap-idle-channel-adapter store-uri="imaps://usr:pwd@server" channel="iwfChannel" />

The following is the trace of what happens

Any idea if this is an issue with the imap-idle-channel-adapter ?

[Mark Fisher]

Is it possible that you also need to include a port?

[jvictor]

Nope Mark, we use the default port. The API client connects without any port being mentioned.

[Mark Fisher]

Do you have any @ signs in the username or password by any chance?

[jvictor]

No I dont. I had it earlier, but changed it to a alphanumeric value.

[jvictor]

Mark, shouldnt the Abstract mail receiver also have the ability to take in a authenticator ?

I guess that could be the problem, please look at this trace

Please note that that masked user in the url is not the same as the user that is being sent up in the line DEBUG: protocolConnect login, host=XXXXXXXXXXXXX, user=jvictor, password=<non-null>
