At a glance, that sounds like you may not have entered the right password; have you double checked?

Hi there, I am getting this error as well for an imap mailbox. The exception occurs if I specify a folder on the end of the uri; it works fine without the folder parameter. bombs: imap://user:[email protected]?folder=django_folder works fine: imap://user:[email protected]

Very nice library btw.

It was just a bad foldername. For my imap server I needed to prefix the folder name with INBOX.; so the uri is now: imap://user:[email protected]?folder=INBOX.django_folder

Prefixing my folder value with INBOX.* worked for me as well. Thanks @spatialbits!
