Hello,
It is great to be able to index imap folders in mairix. However, I am
very uncomfortable with the idea of storing a password in clear text
in the .mairixrc file. The imap server that I use lets me connect
without a password using a kerberos ticket and gssapi from (al)pine
and heirloom mailx. Could mairix do the same? At first glance, it
doesn't look as if it would be too difficult to incorporate or adapt
the code from the mailx imap_gssapi.c file.
Hi Stephen,
It's probably not difficult, but I haven't got an IMAP server with
Kerberos support or a Kerberos client to test it with, so I would have
some difficulty implementing it.
I understand the concern about putting a plaintext password into the
.mairixrc file and I wouldn't do that myself: I use the imap_pipe
directive to launch the IMAP server as a subprocess (over an SSH
connection, optionally), in which mode it doesn't ask for a password.
