(?)Well, I'm making progress, in that it works and authenticates with my own authetication module. So far so good, but testing with a few clients gives these results: All this is despite mega fiddling with folder paths and configs in the various clients. So, what's the text-mode client of choice? Or are my problems fixable - so long as I can persuade Pine or Mutt to work, I'll be happy.
This may sound contradictory, but I warmly recommend Pine - it's my main client. I have no experience with Mutt, but I know others who use it and are happy with it.
Mutt is like Pine on steroids... many more features, like total control over headers, including different envelope sender and from headers, which is great on ezmlm groups for spam control. Also can use and design any macros, total key remapping, and many, many more things.. what makes it most powerful are the folder or sender hooks. When you set it up, and if you are on a lot of groups, each different name you use for that group is automatically added when you reply to that specific group. You can use your favorite editor too, I have a macro that changes from vi to emacs, as my editor for my whim for the day <g>
Since you say Mutt only displays !INBOX, I'll try to set it up and see if I can figure it out. :-)
Pine is a Pain to set up, folders must be inserted manually, but once they're in pine is very good.
I'll save you some time Andy... He is missing something in his .muttrc folder. He needs to identify the folders that he has. For example:
mailboxes =INBOX =INBOX/sent =INBOX/mutt =INBOX/store mailboxes =INBOX/bsd =INBOX/dns =INBOX/binc
could also add a cert file, so he does not have to ask/answer all the time.
set certificate_file=~/.mutt/certificates
Then Adrian would just hit "c" and either "?" or "tab" to view his folders, which is normal in Mutt to move around folders. That's it.
