So now when I startup VM and do 'vm-visit-imap-folder' it doesn't ask

emacs/vm session, I have to first list the folders, then I can visit
my imap folder.
Uday You probably need to hit `g' (vm-get-new-mail) for VM to access the
server.
That works once I'm in the folder and have successfully
authenticated. But if I start up, and do NOT have my imap folder
accessed at all, then doing M-x vm-visit-imap-folder doesn't ask for my
password at all. I have to do M-x vm-list-imap-folders, then it asks
me interactively.
Uday Please check the *Messages* buffer to see if there were any errors.
Will do. I'll do a fresh start:
- fired up emacs.
- C-x C-m to start vm, goes into my old INBOX which is still my
default.
- M-x vm-visit-imap-folder
- it asks Visit IMAP folder: in the minibuffer.
- hitting the tab key builds a completion list, but never shows me
anything.
- hmm, typing 'extab' doesthen complete and now asks for my
password. Curious...
- but I enter my password, and it comes back with:
Visit IMAP folder: exmail1:
- hitting tab doesn't get me anywhere, nor does typing 'intab'.
I have to enter the full name of 'inbox' to get my mail.
Funky. Nothing in the *Messages* buffer either.
So maybe I'm just smoking something good here, or just missing the
obvious. It would be nice it autocompletion could hook into the
vm-list-imap-folders when you have logged in.
Ah, now I have an issue to report. If you do 'M-x
vm-visit-imap-folder' and type just 'exmail1return' it will come
back with:
IMAP folder required in the format account-name:folder-name
but then it just dies, it doesn't let you keep going, you have to do
M-x vm-visit-imap-folder all over again. This would be something to
improve if possible. Esp since all you have to do is enter
'exmail1:tab' and it asks for a password. Hitting
'exmail1:return' gets the above error message again. It would
certainly be nicer to be more interactive if possible.
Now, when I do:
M-x vm-visit-imap-folder
exmail1:intab
It asks me for my IMAP password, which I enter and hit return. Then I
get a warning Symbol's Function definition is void: symbol-prefix-p
that flashes up for a second and I'm put back into the mini-buffer to
enter the folder name. If I hit tab it says Making completion
list... but never seems to connect to the server and get the list of
folders.
Does this help?
Uday (I recall I had some issues with defining what constitutes an
Uday interactive use. I have straightened them out now in the
Uday trunk.)
Make a release, please?
Thanks,
John
