email: cannot log in to MacOS IMAP server [released]
I didn't succeed in connecting to our MacOS IMAP server. I tried both SSL and TLS. The email app reports "authentication failed" but the login/password is definitely correct.

CRAM-MD5 is only supported for STMP. However it should work if you manually edit the settings to use it, follow similar steps to this ones[1], skip 5 and in 6 do:
ag-tool update-service ACCT_ID email int:imap4/authentication=3

XOAUTH2 for google accounts
CRAM-MD5, PLAIN, LOGIN for general IMAP/SMTP accounts.

Can you check the log files from the IMAP server? If you have developer mode enabled, set in
/home/nemo/.config/QtProject/Messageserver.conf
:Then run message server in foreground
