Re: [9fans] Mail configuration



factotum -g 'key=mykey proto=pass service=imap server=yourserverurl user=yourimapusername !password?'

then

mailfs yourserverurl

or, if you want tls:

mailfs -t yourserverurl

Once it has returned, you can use as a ui the Mail command in acme
for example.

Cheers,
Mathieu

I didn't bring over upas/fs.
There is a separate program, not installed
by default, in src/cmd/upas/nfs (n=new)
that speaks only imap. When installed, its
name is mailfs. It works with the nedmail
and acme Mail that are in the plan9port
distribution; the file tree is slightly different
than the standard upas/fs (more faithful to imap).
It downloads pieces of the message as it
needs them, so if you have big attachments,
they don't get downloaded until you ask for them.
Messages saved with the Save command
go into imap folders, not local files.
I used this setup for a few years against a dovecot
imap server. It does not work against the
gmail imap server, because gmail imap
will not serve the full mime tree of the message;
it only gives you the raw message bytes.

I must be getting dumber, but while I think I successfully built and
installed src/cmd/upas/nfs as mailfs (P9P on debian/testing linux), I
have failed to figure out how to get it to talk to my dovecot server.
Can someone post an example of the command-line they use to run it
(perhaps with a short explanation of the arguments)?

thanks,
Peter Canning
