Have you tested that, or are you assuming that? I'm asking because I *think* mutt takes everything up to either a semicolon or the last @ symbol as the username. For example, I put my username in as u...@memoryhole.net@imap.memoryhole.net without trouble. Granted, my username doesn't have slashes in it, but I don't see why the slashes would cause trouble (other than maybe general slash and period bugs). > That's no problem as long as I want to check only one IMAP server > with such a username as I then simply set imap_user accordingly and > state the "simple" usernames explicitly as part of the imaps-URL on > the remaining accounts. It is not obvious (to me), though, how to > deal with several IMAP accounts that have such usernames. Well, the other way to do it with mutt is to use account-hooks. For example: account-hook imap://exchange.server 'set imap_user=COMPANY/christoph/christoph.ludwig' mailboxes imap://exchange.server/INBOX imap://exchange.server/from_boss For details, check out the manual's description of "account-hook" (keep in mind that account-hooks trigger at unexpected times, so you don't want to do anything in them that doesn't have to do with contacting that account). ~Kyle - -- Art, I suppose, is only for beginners, who have made up in their minds to be content with symbols rather than with what they signify, with the elegantly composed recipe in lieu of actual dinner. -- Aldous Huxley -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Thank you for using encryption! iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJKLp0vAAoJECuveozR/AWegiQQAImCz+bS30AJEFVbhgtRrTCy kkr6Ts4qnx+r2iplFEqCN7OX46jL/tb5c3i4wpJfZzJ+sDbo6taaScVRVYTc+JJr i0ZFO9EngS8z3CC2IERPLJW0HvieHKm69EMxx/K6rjdXiEWo7aqKTfcmg8nEAuDz n8WcO9tUc49ub0fSPnRx854Er1OiVPJHKtQU2LINFeY4L1s6ioy0c2O4BV0DHKxn Tdxpu6XjKhDT3xGt3uE4oh26hjbXHwXU+n7Ho3In+6lI1eDYCDAhspKSwjlSs28v bFjjC10OUzTs9d9qyjZl8K82azY+fNNLppqZJMZ07wXY1T/hUWMCdnn2n9ZazV/l IC78gWo1nCGDp/eu18zB1H7zbN8RGykmNFjNLFOQz4PQZstFc0Kx9yhGPbpIdzZl 9ZZ2jG7oXHlqDkU5jYydSIfi1viMTS19jhHO6NEbQTWsDMZh/MArN4Pz0SwKrTQt jx109KjrGJseIsdl42wZmC6k2pjNj5MFCuwcXdoie4KLYO1SYED82uQrrY0hTHYe YSDSEbnmOSuJ20k1ADnrTjD1n8jCPvxhspP+b+PZZGQ+fxgaP1TuT4zGMc1LBIxD XtLGITV7FR43yT8UxSv0oL7gbeD5E7OXs9p7pL/gU6oChO51OTV+xinSNnLMvK2E y9w7zX/c1wwf9oCqH6Ut =5oCd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
