For Discussion: Carrying a patch for curl to get Visual Voicemail to work
Hello!
T-Mobile USA has modified their servers to no longer advertise a method of authentication (PLAIN) for Visual Voicemail. However, the IMAP RFC allows for the method to be used as a fallback. I suspect since T-mobile only tests their servers against iOS and Android, they see whatever update they did not breaking anything.
However for curl, it does NOT handle this, so to access the IMAP server, this patch is required: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/8986 . I have asked a few times how to get this merged, but really haven't hear anything back.
Ideally, I would like this to be merged so there are no issues, but I have no idea how to move that forward. In the mean time, it would be nice to carry the patch in PureOS so folks with T-Mobile can keep using Visual Voicemail.
Also, any feedback on how to move that patch forward would be welcome too.
Thank you!
