I guess it's probably an issue of maintaining a separate package on non-US servers. If you wanted to avoid compiling it in yourself, you could use stunnel to provide yourself an ssl tunnel to access your imaps server. I have stunnel running to provide myself a tunnel on localhost:110 to my mail server's pop3s port. To do the same for imap, the stunnel command you'd want to use is: stunnel -c -d localhost:imap -r your.mailserver.com:imaps and then tell mutt to connect to your mailserver at imap://localhost/ . You get the added benefit of being able to use any pop3 or imap client without ssl support, and it's a very clean and secure setup. The connections are only opened when a connection is made to the localhost port; not like an ssh tunnel that requires an open connection. If you're interested in the initscript I created to set up this tunnel at boot, email me privately and I'll send you a copy. In that file, there are variable definitions LOCAL and REMOTE right at the top which you can customize to easily adapt it to your situation. -- Vineet http://www.anti-dmca.org Unauthorized use of this .sig may constitute violation of US law. echo Qba\'g gernq ba zr\! |tr 'a-zA-Z' 'n-za-mN-ZA-M'
