Suggest addition to manual
In the Reference section of the manual, I recommend adding a warning at the place where it describes imap_pass and pop_pass: mutt's bug reporting program will send the user's .muttrc file to everyone on the development list, so imap_pass and pop_pass should really be put in a separate file sourced from .muttrc. The user should be aware of this.

Re: STARTTLS behaviour
I sent my original message just to mutt-dev, but it might be of
interest to mutt-users as well, since it brings up security issues that
people might not have thought about with the current STARTTLS behaviour.
On Fri, Feb 15, 2002 at 08:19:46PM +, Andrew McDonald wrote:
The current starttls behaviour in mutt can only provide opportunistic
encryption, and protect against passive attackers.
The ssl_starttls setting essentially gives opportunistic encryption -
if we use imap (port 143) and the server advertises STARTTLS we try to
do it. However, an active attacker could of course change the
unauthenticated capabilities advertised by the server.
If you want to be sure of using TLS/SSL then you can specify imaps
(IMAP over SSL/TLS on port 993). There is also an imap_force_ssl
setting. If you have this set and then specify imap it essentially
changes it to imaps (IMAP over SSL on port 993 unless another port is
specified).
If you work this through you'll realise that it is not possible to make
sure it uses TLS while using imap/STARTTLS. :-(
I've now written a patch (attached) that adds an ssl_force_starttls
setting. This will fail if a connection attempt is made and STARTTLS
isn't advertised (and we're not already doing TLS from an imaps://
specification).
ssl_starttls is left as providing opportunistic encryption, though
ssl_force_starttls overrides it.
Also, I'm not sure I fully understand the purpose of imap_force_ssl. I
guess it is to stop you accidentally connecting unencrypted. Is that
right? Otherwise it doesn't appear to have a use that using imaps:// or
{hostname/ssl} won't solve.

I open up a xterm window, using KDE 2.2.2 on SuSE 7.3. 2. At command prompt I type mutt, press Enter. Mutt opens up, no errors. 3. I press Shift+G 4. Mutt goes through several attempts to login to my mail server before it finally stops and reports the error message above. I'm brand new to Mutt, so any advice is welcome. Cool. You can spend hours setting mutt up, then weeks tweaking that setup. I like it. Thanks Your welcome. -- Knute You live, You die.

Checking new mail on mailboxes
Hi there all! I an using maildirs. I have procmail setup to deliver to several folders. On my .muttrc I am calling the mailboxes with: source ~/mutt/mailboxes.rc And the only entry (for now) on my mailboxes.rc file is: mailboxes ! =david I have tried hitting TAB at the index, going to the browser and hitting TAB, still does not show new messages on =david. How can I have Mutt check for new messages on my maildir folders? Thanks for the help in advance.
