[docs] [issue13700] imaplib.IMAP4.authenticate authobject fails with PLAIN mechanism

[Erno Tukia]

Erno Tukia <erno.tukia at iki.fi> added the comment:

I tried to fix the problem and the correct fix is to change
    oup = ''
to
    oup = b''

in imaplib._Authenticator.encode() function, and not what I suggested in my previous post.

After changing that PLAIN authentication works.
