Description

Mailwatch makes no attempt at all to connect if e-mail password has a " in it.

Noticed Mailwatch didn't seem to do anything at all; in fact, there were not even any incoming connection attempts whatsoever in the logs of my own e-mail server. This changed as soon as I removed the " character in my password in Mailwatcher's settings, after which doing so and clicking Update Now again, my server logs finally indicated an incoming connection and (properly-failed) attempt to authenticate by my home computer.

This occurs in Mailwatcher 1.2.0, the one included with Linux Mint 18 XFCE.
