Now you confuse me. You want this to be on IMAP, right? There are examples in the manual, btw. | set MBOX=imaps://imap.xxxxxx.xx:xxx | set record=imaps://imap.xxxxxx.xx:xxx/Sent | set inbox=imaps://imap.xxxxxx.xx:xxx It is *inbox* _or_ $MAIL. | set imap-keepalive=240 | set imap-cache=~/.mail/.imap_cache | shortcut imap imaps://imap.xxxxxx.xx:xxx |} set v15-compat=y account otenet { set smtp-use-starttls set mta=smtp://mail.xxx.xx set from="xxxx <xxxxx...@xxxxxx.xx>" set folder=imaps://imap.xxxxxx.xx:xxx set inbox=$folder set MBOX=+ Though - primary and secondary being the same is something i had to think about. (Ie, implications, whether it works. But in modern mail usage MBOX is usually not used. Why do you want it?) set record=+Sent set imap-keepalive=240 set imap-cache=~/.mail/.imap_cache shortcut imap + But instead simply say "file @" or "file +", easier in your example i would think. set netrc-lookup You said you have stored user and password in ~/.netrc. } If you then run "s-nail -A otenet" you should go via internet to $inbox aka $folder immediately. If that fails because connection fails then there will be no active mailbox and the above message occurs. You could try "s-nail -A otenet -vv" and look whether connection an authentication succeeds. The above (more or less) should really work. --End of <20230217184829.j1piy%haris...@otenet.gr> Ciao, --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
