Incorrect login credentials with credentials from info output

[SirEdvin]

So, I get all credentials from info command of bridge instance and make sure that it persist after restart, but I always get this error, with or without starttls.

ERRO[May 29 09:20:48.071] Incorrect login credentials.                  pkg=smtp username=<my email>

What do I doing wrong here?

Not sure if you worked this out. I'm using this to pull details from another docker container that wants to read email attachments, but some of the challenges I had are likely the same. I wrote a comment here with full details.

Two key things for me:

• It wouldn't work when security was set to STARTTLS, I had to set it to no encryption.
  - This container maps the port to 143 by default, where as the proton bridge console's info command will tell you the port is 1143. This is set in your docker run command or docker compose file, so you may have changed it. edit: sorry, this was due to my container-to-container setup

My guess is the first one, try disabling the encrypted connection (this is the connection between the bridge and your email client, presumably on the same machine, so the security concerns are minimal).
