Hi,
movemail in mailutils supports APOP, but the syntax for it does not
allow for a password:
pop://<USER>;auth=+APOP@<HOST>
but
pop://<USER>:<PASSWORD>;auth=+APOP@<HOST>
is interpreted as having the user <USER>:<PASSWORD>. Currently it
seems that it is impossible to use POP + AUTH with rmail unless one
wishes to be asked for a password, or use emacs movemail. Problem
with the later is that emacs movemail does not support imap; and as a
result you cannot have multiple mailboxes that use imap and apop.
Would it be able to make mailutils movemail support a password in the
URI, or make rmail handle rmail-remote-password better to always try
it when something asks for a password? The last solution isn't the
best one, but it work.
Cheers.
