R15. Help, I'm getting Authorization failure!

+

First, try upgrading to fetchmail 6.3.18 or newer. Release 6.3.18 has +received a considerable number of bug fixes for the authentication +feature (AUTH, AUTHENTICATE, SASL). Most notably, fetchmail aborts SASL +authentication attempts properly with an asterisk if it detects that it +cannot make progress with a particular authentication scheme. This fixes +issues where GSSAPI-enabled fetchmail cannot authenticate against +Microsoft Exchange 2007 and 2010. Note that this is a +bug in old fetchmail versions!

+

Fetchmail by default attempts to authenticate using various schemes. Fetchmail tries these schemes in order of descending security, meaning the most secure schemes are tried first.
