I used to work with rms at MIT. really stuck with this problem, mit tech support couldn't figure it out
rms suggested I email this list.

I am using GNU Emacs 25.2.2 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.22.21) of 2017-09-22, modified by Debian
on athena at MIT.

I was locked out of my account and my password was reset on Monday.

Now, I can no longer send emails from emacs, I get this error:
Sending failed: 535 5.7.0 authentication failed in response to aGR0MjAxMkRERA==

Tried editing and deleting .emacs file but that didn't work.

any suggetions would be appreciated.
