Subject: Re: confusing tlsmail error Bad login (Net::POPAuthenticationError)

Oops, never mind. I was having a problem earlier with the password, so
I changed it, but did not update the test code. DOH!

Thanks to Brian Candler for clarifying.

In case anyone cares, here is how I debugged.. The run bombs during
check_response_auth, defined as:

#    def check_response_auth(res)
#      raise POPAuthenticationError, res unless /\A\+OK/i === res
#      res
#    end

I changed that to debug as follows:
#grep -A5 'def check_response_auth'   /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/pop.rb
#    def check_response_auth( res )
#      puts res
#      raise POPAuthenticationError, res unless /\A\+OK/i === res
#      res
#    end

AFter that, the run looks like:

ruby ruby/getmail.rb
+OK User name accepted, password please
-ERR Bad login
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/pop.rb:865:in `check_response_auth': -ERR Bad
login (Net::POPAuthenticationError)
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/pop.rb:766:in `auth'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/pop.rb:445:in `do_start'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/pop.rb:432:in `start'
        from ruby/getmail.rb:4

So we see the username is accepted, but then the password rejected.
