[MlMt] cannot send email via fastmail in mailmate

[Guy Boanas]

I had this problem a few days back with both my fastmail and gmail 
accounts showing the same. A Fastmail person was very helpful and after 
following instructions the problem ended. He suggested:

reconfigure the email client from scratch:
   - Delete all existing email client settings
   - Reboot/restart the machine
   - Reconfigure it from scratch using the server details here:
https://www.fastmail.com/help/technical/servernamesandports.html
   - Make sure that you delete the existing app password for the client 
from your account and create a new one while reconfiguring the client.
https://www.fastmail.com/help/clients/apppassword.html

The screenshot on the FM site for mailmate configuration shows no 
numbers for the ports when actually they are required and this is 
mentioned in other of their documents. I think it was this confusion 
plus some caching issues which were causing problems.
