I'm not sure if you meant you'll fix it later, or that it should be fixed now.
Actually, [next] doesn't work at all (always loads MAILSPOOL on startup) so I
switched to [crawl]. But tests still fail there.

I don't think it's really relevant to what I said, but I agree a wildcard
would be nice. The other option would be to do it automatically: if no
"imap.yandex.ru" machine is found, automatically fallback to "yandex.ru". But
this seems a bit more naughty than a simple `*.' wildcard.

Anyway, all this isn't what I meant, but S-nail now works as I wanted it to so
I guess you understood me.

For instance if school.edu and work.com both use google apps, then both will
use "imap.gmail.com" as the imap host. I'd guess many setups are like this. Or
perhaps you might use both [email protected] and [email protected] as seperate
accounts, each (for some reason???) with a different password.

Dunno :P
