Hi, This is about the wishlist feature request bug: https://bugs.debian.org/446560
> I'd like to have getmail directly invoke /usr/lib/dovecot/imap or "ssh > server /usr/lib/dovecot/imap" to get an IMAP connection. getmail > should have a retriever or retriever option to invoke a command and > use that as the connection. This can be implemented by user using shell wrapper script around mutt or MACRO invoking shell script, I guess. Have you thought about such approaches? Also, what was the real motive behind running dovecot/imap. I know mutt used to lack good SSL IMAP support. Did you needed dovecot/imap to have secure remote mail access? If so, it is not the case anymore with the new getmail 4.46.0-1. | getmail4 (4.46.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium | | * New upstream release. Closes: #745484 | + hostname-vs-certificate matching of SSL certificate | with proper checking of Python version. | | -- Osamu Aoki <os...@debian.org> Tue, 22 Apr 2014 23:47:34 +0900 | | getmail4 (4.44.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium | | * New upstream release. | + Add extended SSL options for IMAP retrievers. | | -- Osamu Aoki <os...@debian.org> Sun, 30 Mar 2014 10:44:21 +0900 I do not mind getting suggestions for shell wrapper scripts and MACRO examples invoking /usr/lib/dovecot/imap. SSH access may be useful for some rare cases. If you have made such scripts, please open a new bug report requesting inclusion of such scripts. Since I nor upstream is not interested to implement requested feature and I see not much rationale to do so any more. I would like to close this feature request bug report. (No one send us such patch for years.) Let me know if you have different view on this subject. Regards, Osamu
