Basically, I tried sending an email using Gmail and found that if my account's password is 12 characters or more, I get an error whereas a password of 11 characters or less succeeds.

Here is the verbose output of the successful attempt: mailsend1.16.exe -to -from -ssl -port 465 -auth-plain -smtp smtp.gmail.com -sub "Backup: 2013- 09-28" -M "Backup for 2013-09-28" +cc +bc -v -user "" -pass "<11 character password>" -attach ".\Archive pieces Dir\b.bmp" Connecting to smtp.gmail.com:465 Cipher: ECDHE-RSA-RC4-SHA Certificate information: Subject: /C=US/ST=California/L=Mountain View/O=Google Inc/CN=smtp.gmail.com Issuer: /C=US/O=Google Inc/CN=Google Internet Authority G2 [S] 220 mx.google.com ESMTP mb7sm5550388wic.10 - gsmtp [C] EHLO localhost [S] 250-mx.google.com at your service, [197.245.1.219] [S] 250-SIZE 35882577 [S] 250-8BITMIME [S] 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN XOAUTH XOAUTH2 PLAIN-CLIENTTOKEN [S] 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES [S] 250 CHUNKING [C] AUTH PLAIN AFhhdmllckpESGRlUmF1dmlsbGVQU0VAZ21haWwuY29tACd2Tzc1XlxNOCw9

Would you try v1.17b12? Although v1.17 is beta, it has lot of fixes and just because it's beta it is not unstable. I checked in v1.17, an array of 64 characters is used to store the password.

Status: Accepted

Yes this is a bug. If the base64 string was longer than 60 characters, a new line was added. Will fix soon.
