mutt links to -lsasl, we supply -lsasl2. configure exits with cannot find. Fixed in dev version. May be easier to remove Optional SASL link until next Mutt release. Did not search for patches.

It builds with the mutt now in the book (1.5.10). I'm not sure how to test this, though. The mutt source says that cyrus-sasl will be used in the imap and pop clients. However, the only imap servers I know of that use sasl for authentication are cyrus-imap and uw-imap, and I don't have access to one of those. I might be mistaken about how mutt uses sasl. Will have to investigate more.

Looking at the mutt devel manual, it looks like it will use sasl to access any imap server that offers authentication.

So, once I get my postfix/courier setup running again, I'll test this out.

Archaic gave me access to in IMAP server, so I was able to test out the sasl functionality. Worked without issues as far as I could tell. I straced mutt, and it showed the different sasl plugins loading as it stepped down from most secure available one to the one eventually used for authentication.
Closing this as fixed with mutt-1.5.11 in the book now.
Assigning this ticket to Dan as he just updated Mutt to the devel version. This ticket should have been looked at then. Dan, if you would, could you confirm this is fixed, and if it is not fixed, then annotate in the bug. Thanks.
