Subject: rmail not working in console mode
Date: Sat, 27 Feb 2016 15:45:03 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <r3fyus9c.fsf@gmx.com> (raw)

I've finally managed to set up email in emacs, either reading or
writing. The problem comes when I try to use emacs in console mode
(tty1). Whenever I try to read mail with M-x rmail, emacs will ask me
for my POP Password (which I guees it's my email password). Once
entered, it will return me the following error:


Getting mail from remote sercer ...
movemail: Error connecting to POP server: -ERR authentication failed
(No new mail has arrived)


Does anybody have a solution?
