Ranjan,
Without knowing your password string it's only guessing (and I know that you
can't post here your password :-)). I would avoid as chars in a password
any UTF-8 multibyte char and also only use ASCII printable chars. Best
solution for you is just changing the password in your mail server
following this rule.
