Dear Maintainer,

-  What led up to the situation?

	Fetching mail as always:

		$ mbsync -a

   * What was the outcome of this action?

	$ mbsync -a
	Error decoding SASL prompt: another step is needed in authentication
	mbsync: drv_imap.c:2033: imap_free_store: Assertion `!ctx->pending && !ctx->in_progress' failed.
	Aborted                    mbsync -a

	I don't know if this is a bug in mbsync(1), or if the IMAP
	server is temporarily problematic.  I'm reporting just in case.

Have a lovely night!
Alex

Hi Oswald,

It was a temporary issu in my mail provider.  I reported it to them, and
they've fixed it quickly, so it's solved on my side now (which is nice,
because I can read email again, but now I can't reproduce this).

I've sent them a link to the Debian bug, asking them if they could come
here and explain what the issue and the solution was.  Hopefully, that
could help improve mbsync(1) next time we meet such an issue.


Have a lovely day!
Alex
