Package: mpop-gnome
Version: 1.0.19-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

maybe I have a bad day, but I fail to configure mpop to use the GNOME
keyring. The manpage says that it would automatically look in the
keyring to retrieve a password, but apparently it fails finding one,
since I never put it in. However, the is no information about how I
should do this (specifically what key id it would look for), neither in
the Debian package nor in the upstream documentation at
http://mpop.sourceforge.net/doc/mpop.html

Other than the changelog entry that GNOME keyring support was added in
2008 they do not even contain the words GNOME or keyring (except for
listing the appropriate copyright holder). Moreover, the upstream
documentation/manpage/info even lists

  "Currently the only supported keychain is the Mac OS X keychain."

which somewhat contradicts the existance of the mpop-gnome package.

I'd be glad for pointers how this feature is intended to be used.


Thanks,

Michael
