mutt w/IMAP4+SSL?
Since i got some free time this weekend i was going to try out mutt
for the hell of it ..since i hear its a good reader..but i can't
get it to connect to my IMAP4+SSL server. it connects fine to
just the IMAP4 port but i must have it connect to the SSL
port. the package description says it supports SSL and
according to the FAQ i set the configuration to use
SSL:
aphro@aphro:~$ more .muttrc
set spoolfile={10.10.10.1/ssl}INBOX
set folder={10.10.10.1}
set imap_user=aphro
when i load mutt:
{10.10.10.1/ssl}INBOX is an invalid IMAP path, if i
remove the /ssl it works fine, provided i turn
off my firewall for port 143 ..
from the MUTT faq:
I'd like to get my mail via IMAP!
Mutt does now officially support IMAP. Please upgrade to a
recent version and use --enable-imap and preferably
--with-ssl if you have OpenSSL installed to get
SSL encryption for your IMAP connections.
Then you simply set your spoolfile to "{mailhost/ssl}INBOX"
to access your email (replace mailhost with the name or IP
of your IMAP server and omit the "/ssl" if you
don't have SSL support). INBOX is the canonical name for
your mail spool via IMAP. With IMAP, you can have more than
one mail folder and access them with "{mailhost/ssl}INBOX/foo
with the name foo.

going to be a hard transition for me i think, being a pine
and netscape mailer user for the past 5+ years ..but
i trust the end result will be worth it ...im not really
looking to recompile mutt to get this working..so if it
is possible let me know what i am missing for it to work.
btw im running potato looks like mutt is 0.94-5
thanks
nate
