oh... quotes! yes that worked, I can read mail from my remote server
now, thanks! Interesting that this is now a requirement.

Well, that's odd. I remember having the manual inside emacs and browsing
it as you suggest, apparently is no longer there. I'm probably missing a
.deb, but Chtulu knows which one :-)
Anyway, thanks for the help, I've got my main mail working again so I'm
happy. I can live with the local mail broken until I figure out what's
wrong with dovecot.
