Specified SASL mechanism not supported net/imap ruby
authentication, imap, ruby, ruby-on-rails-3.2, sasl
Solution
I used imap.login in place of imap.authenticate. It worked like a charm.
imap.login('user', 'passwd')
Problem
I am using ruby 1.9.3 for validating the email credentials using "net/imap" library. If I try to use the following code in rails console it works :- ``` imap = Net::IMAP.new('imap.aol.com') imap.authenticate('LOGIN', "username@aol.com".split("@").first, "password") ``` But when I use it in Rails application it gives me an error :- ``` Specified SASL mechanism not supported. ``` This happens only in case of AOL, yahoo is working in both console and rails app. Does anyone have in insight what it could be. Thanks
