Hello.

I've read here and there how the "new" FM App. password requirement doesn't work with all FM set-ups. Now, I'm experiencing it.

My "old" Android phone (Aristo 2 on T-Mobile) and the one before it worked very well with FM using the K9 Mail E-Mail App.

Bought a new phone last week (Aristo 5 on T-Mobile) and am, slowly, replicating the old phone.

Backed-up K9 Mail using its own back-up utility (copies all settings, except, passwords). After installing the same version of K9 Mail on the new phone that's installed in the old phone, imported settings from the the back-up file.

Generated new App. password on FM portal for the new phone. After entering it as the password on the new installation, tried to access my mail on the IMAP server -- no joy.

Took a gander at FM K9 Mail set up instructions here: https://www.fastmail.com/help/clients/k9mail.html

My set-up is exactly the same as on FM's how to.

What an I missing?

Thank you and Happy Saturday.
