Cannot Receive Mail with Mutt / Debian Stable

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

Hello,

I just found a setting that said "allow less secure apps" and I enabled that and now I can
use mutt.

But I have a strange problem.

With the latest mutt I cannot see this email, if I use neomutt, I can - that's what I am uding now.

I used the letter c to change to "All Mail" and I still cannot find this email.

I'll work on it.

At least I have email now.

Best to all,

David
