IMAP Login Failed problem

0 votes

I am trying to connect my address via IMAP like this:

 imap.Connect("myhost");  
 imap.Login("myusername", "mypassword");

But, I get this error in the second line:
An unhandled exception of type 'Limilabs.Client.IMAP.ImapResponseException' occurred in Mail.dll

Additional information: LOGIN Failed - The mailbox you specified does not have access to this service.

When I try BestLogin function instead of Login function, I get the following error:
An unhandled exception of type 'Limilabs.Client.IMAP.ImapResponseException' occurred in Mail.dll

Additional information: AUTHENTICATE CRAM-MD5 Failed - The mailbox you specified does not have access to this service.

What is the problem?

The error message generated by the IMAP server is clear and in both cases exactly the same:

The mailbox you specified does not have access to this service.

You should contact your server administrator. Most likely IMAP access is disabled for this account.

As a side note:
Use UseBestLogin method - it chooses the right authentication based on the server's capabilities, whereas Login always uses LOGIN authentication method.
