Re: [VM] Any interest in trying to make local vs. IMAP folder treatment more seamless

 Unfortunately, vm itself is not just binding heavy but actually binding
 dependent in that some key functions *only* seem to work when called
 from a key binding rather than from M-x. I think this is true btw for
 certain mark-related functions with next command uses marks. So that
 while aliases would shorten typing they still don't solve that problem.

That is true, but note that `vm-visit-imap-folder' is something you would
never invoke with marked messages.

My solution has been to free up as many key bindings as possible so that the
users can bind them to whatever is most important to them.  We also have
thread operations now, which can be invoked without messing with message
marking.

Unless you have a working configuration of stunnel, I would suspect it
first.  If you search vm.info archives on Google Groups you will find
earlier discussions of stunnel.  Perhaps you can get stunnel to work with
some other IMAP server like gmail first to make sure that it works.

I just checked against Gmail using imap-ssl, and it works fine with my
vm/stunnel setup.

Upgrading to VM 8.2.0b might also help, because various improvements have
been made since the old release.

I can see there have been changes to vm-imap.el lately, so I guess I’ll
give it a try.

Oh, but wait: I see on Launchpad that 8.1.2 is more recent than 8.2.0b
and it’s recommended as an upgrade path from 8.1.1 to 8.2.0.  OK...

 Has anyone reading this had experience connecting vm to a Microsoft
 Exchange IMAP-SSL server?  (Successful experience, I hope!)

Yes; stunnel4 and IMAP to Exchange Just Worked; My notes suggest I
didn't need the additional-configuration-file option. 

What it might be worth doing is snaffling a copy of the stunnel
configuration file that VM creates, and running stunnel by hand to check
it's managing to connect OK.

Re: [VM] Differences between IMAP-FCC and FCC

 1. Is there any reason that IMAP-FCC doesn't include a 'From:' line whereas
FCC does include a 'From:' line? The net result is that for IMAP-FCC,
the vm summary gets the sender from the from line which is often then
the meaningless VM

 FCC is a feature of the Emacs mail-mode, which obviously knows nothing about
 IMAP.  IMAP-FCC was added by Rob F to save a file copy *before* we hand the
 message over to mail-mode.

 To get a From: header in the IMAP-FCC copy, you should set the
 `vm-mail-header-from' variable so that you don't depend on mail-mode to fill
 it in for you.  I think we had a discussion about it earlier in the mailing
 list. 

Setting vm-mail-header-from still fails to give me a From: header in
the copy made by IMAP-FCC:.

Also, it seems with FCC: that user-full-name and user-mail-address
*override* the setting of vm-mail-header-from which seems to defeat the
purpose.

Am I missing something or is this a bug?
