Vivalidi Mail, changed PWD due to 2FA can't connect

ios v 17.5.1
DC 1.140.2

I had to create a new (app) pwd for the smtp/imap access. Now i’m getting Connection refused (os error 61) and failed to prepare Mvbox connecting and IMAP rate limited

I have the same issue on the desktop. not anymore
Is this a Vivaldi thing or DC. Can I do anything about it?

Update: the desktop has issues keeping the connection alive

Hello :wave:,
are you using the new app password in DC too?

It is also possible that the account is temporarily blocked if you have sent too many emails in a certain period of time. If DC is used intensively, especially in groups, many providers will interpret this as spam. Therefore, it is better to use a chatmail server.

Actually, I rarely send messages as I’m merely testing the service. I think the major benefit of DC is its ability to use almost any mail server, otherwise decentralization is just a phrase

and of course, I use the app password

I think it is a Vivaldi issue. I get time outs in simple mail client since leaving OAuth

and the right way to avoid this is to have more decentralization by having more chatmail (or deltachat-friendly) servers, not by using vivaldi, gmail, outlook, and the few big fishes that make the email network more centralized, just saying, it is good if vivaldi also works with delta

well, I do agree but only if there’s enough chatmail servers out there :wink:

There are now six public chatmail servers:

I know and I’m using 2 of them. The major constraint with these is the restriction to e2e meassaging only.
