It sounds like your username or password are incorrect. Can you tell me any more details about what you're seeing?

[AndrejHatzi]

My username and password are not incorrect, I'll provide you with more details!

Thank You, Andrej

So full disclosure I haven't touched this code in about two years now, but this is what looks like is going on -

https://github.com/hawkins/Shawk/blob/master/shawk/Client.py#L275

# Convert messages to string format and simplify structure
        messages = []
        for uid in raw_msgs:
            obj = {}
            obj['UID'] = uid
            for key, value in raw_msgs[uid].items():
                try:
                    if key.decode('utf-8') == 'BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (FROM)]':
                        obj['FROM'] = email.utils.parseaddr(value.decode('utf-8'))[1]
                    else:
                        if key.decode('utf-8') == 'BODY[TEXT]':
                            obj['BODY'] = value.decode('utf-8') # <--- your error here
                        else:
                            obj[key.decode('utf-8')] = value.decode('utf-8')
                except AttributeError:
                    obj[key.decode('utf-8')] = value
            messages.append(obj)

It looks like we're trying to decode your email, but its body isn't UTF-8 encoded. I'm not familiar enough with typesets to know what values you might be sending to encounter this, though. Can you give me a sample text you tried to receive?

[hawkins]

Regardless, that's definitely a different error from the first one you shared in this issue 🤔 did you get further this time around?

[AndrejHatzi]

Thank you, I'll try this when I get home! Strange I did not change the code at all, I'll have a look into that! Thanks again, Andrej Hatzi
