I need advice on setting the pop_host variable.
I have fetchmail working and successfully downloading email, but for
complex reasons of personal taste, I want to be able to use the G
command.
The URL of the server is pop.everyone.com My email address is
[email protected] When using fetchmail I use the fully
qualified email address as my userID I know my password for sure
because it is passed the fetchmail command, and that works.
I have something similar, that is, an email as a username.
I have tried :set
pop_host="pop://[email protected]@pop.everyone.com" and then
uppercase G command.
I get a request for my password, which I answer (proves that Pop
support is compiled into my particular Mutt) Some progress reports
ending in PASS: Authorization failed.
I have also tried inserting the password into set_host per the User
Manual, but this also fails.
I think Mutt may be confused by the TWO @s in the string. But that is
puzzling because it seems to be collecting to a pop server which asks
for a password.
I'd be happy to run some debuging, but need to be told exactly what to
type.
That very same problem occurs here, too. I got around it by specifying
pop_user="u...@domain" and never thought about it again.
Just a legit workaround I guess. Would be nice to know why there is a
hickup with the [email protected] anyway or how to solve that.
