Not quite automatic, but maybe you can copy and paste the password to the interactive input from a password manager like 'pass' from your laptop?

providing IMAP password to a mutt running on a remote host
Hello, I often use mutt on some remote Linux host of my ISP about which I do not have control as root, just a SSH login is provided. Due to this I do not want to store the IMAP password in ~/.muttrc or where ever there in plain text. The SSH connection is initiated from my local FreeBSD laptop using RSA and a ssh-agent, i.e. I can do there on the remote host also: $ ssh-add -l 1024 SHA256:kZHWaISpML7rzqVppZNTOR+r+6plvFsc967WqOJ5iKo /home/guru/.ssh/id_rsa (RSA) Has someone an idea how could I provide to the remote mutt session the IMAP credentials stored on my local laptop? And no, I do not want to use IMAP through the SSH tunnel, i.e. run mutt on my laptop, because in the scenario described above the laptop is inside my company and central managed network and I can not use any normal sendmail MX chain, all mail must be passed through a central host (guess, what type of MX this runs :-) ) Thanks matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ g...@unixarea.de, http://www.unixarea.de/ +49-176-38902045 Public GnuPG key: http://www.unixarea.de/key.pub May, 9: Спаси́бо освободители!

If it could be automated, is the best to choose! But, an autoresponse to the sender is good, so! I do not have skills to do this in the mutt/offline side! unfortunately! Cheers! -- Marcelo

Yes! It worked! I have been created autoresponse filter first. After few days I will create another one to delete messages. I think you do not have autoresponse because you create one filter. I suggest you create two. First autoresponse and, after, delete it. Thank you so much! -- Marcelo

If it is possible, I will love it! Hi Marcelo, I've done a small test but I haven't been able to make it work, though I think I've followed a reasonable path. You're welcome to try to replicate it, I can't really tell why it fails, it's not like there's a log somewhere. First I have created a template (make sure you have them enabled: Settings > Advanced > Templates). Edit a new mail and use the "three dot" menu at the bottom of the composing window: Templates > Save draft as template > Save as new template. Give it a proper name (large_autoreply, for instance). Then create a filter with this search: "has:attachment larger:256K". I'm using 256K so we don't have to use attachments that are too large to test it. Put that in the search box (or use the options to get basically the same effect) and then click "Create filter". Choose "Delete it" and "Sent template", and choose the one we just created. Click on the blue "Create filter" button. Now I send an e-mail to that address with a large attachment (300kb)... and the e-mail is deleted, but for some reason I don't get the autoresponse back. It's true that I haven't used gmail in a while, so perhaps there is something more to the templates that I haven't done. Cheers, -- José María (Chema) Mateos || https://rinzewind.org
