Hi, I'm using mutt-1.3.9i, and Courier-IMAP-1.1 on Linux and OpenBSD. What I'm trying to do is to read my mail on the machine running the IMAPD via localhost. Unfortunately, I have to type in my password every time I start mutt, even though I'm already authenticated on the machine. I noticed that Courier-IMAP has a preauth option if you run it directly from the command line. I could not spot any option in mutt to execute a command rather than connect to a socket. Has anyone got this to work? As a quick hack, I used netpipes to connect the stdin/stdout to a socket, and connect mutt to that. It's very clumsy though, as each of my users has to pick a unique socket number, and it is somewhat insecure as anyone can try to connect to that socket and read that users mail. Here is the command line i am using: faucet 1234 --daemon --once --out --in --localhost 127.0.0.1 /usr/lib/courier-imap/bin/imapd ~/Maildir && mutt So the user sets up mutt to connect to localhost:1234. This works fine, but I was wondering if mutt could connect to a domain socket (which I could set permissions on so only that user could read it), or otherwise exec a command instead of only connecting to TCP sockets ? How do other IMAP daemons handle the PREAUTH case? Apart from this, the only other issue we've encountered with mutt is that Courier-IMAP allows folders to contain both sub-folders and messages, so that the directory browser doesn't allow us to view messages in a folder which contains subfolders. The rest rocks! Great job :-) -- Anil Madhavapeddy, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
