Login different than email

Open martinkoutecky opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

I can't set LucaMail up because my IMAP/SMTP login is "name" whereas my email is "[email protected]". I know this is atypical but can't do anything about, so Luca should probably have some "advanced settings" dialogue where "email" and "login" can be set separately.

Can you be specific, i didn't get your point , can you produce the issue with a screenshot?

Oh, I may get it. Normally, the AccountName for logging in an IMAP server is "[email protected]", which is exactly the same as the EmailAddress. However, in some situation, while EmailAddress is still "[email protected]", the AccountName for IMAP becomes "name". In such case, the attempt to login the IMAP server with configured AccountName = EmailAddress = "[email protected]" would fail.

@ATNewHope thanks - I was too busy, but yes, this is exactly what I meant. @raghavyuva does it make sense from the other explanation? On the screenshot I would simply circle on the first-run wizard, it asks for email, password, SMTP server, IMAP server; but it doesn't let me say what is the IMAP/SMTP login if differs from the email.

Hello! I have the same issue. My email is something like myname.mylastname@domain but my login is my university number (something like 123564789). So, the connection fail :(
