Password encoding problem

  • Hello, and thanks for the great plugin.

    I’ve recently faced a problem when setting up an account in the plugin. It just wouldn’t authenticate no matter what despite webmail and various email clients accepting the credentials and logging in just fine.

    After a couple of hours trying different things, I decided to change the password, and it worked. So I started digging, and it turns out that the % symbol is not getting encoded as is, but is viewed as a URL-encoded string together with the following two characters. In my case %Ff was disappearing from the Base64 encoded password string Postman stores in the DB. Replacing % with a different character (# in this case) did the trick for me.

    Please fix this encoding issue or notify users not to use % in the email account password. Thank you!
