Dear list,
our E-mail-Server uses dovecot, which delivers mail to and from
a folder containing subfolders names e.g.
~/Maildir/.lists.mutt-users.
There are good reasons to use mutt directly on the machine from time
to time. Unfortunately, these folder names aren't exactly suitable
for mutt use.

I enter it manually. Thanks to screen, my mutt session never ends (until
server reboot), so this is not a problem.

I used to have my password in the .muttrc file; bad mistake (I found
out after mailing my rc file to this list). After introducing it
manually for awhile, I wrote it in a small file with restricted

Well, what *I* do is use Kerberos so I authenticate once when I
login. Mutt (suitably configured) picks this up and gets the
necessary ticket. But I'm

What exactly is the problem with entering the password manually?
Laziness. Not a very strong reason, but I just wondered if restricting
the permissions of the file would be enough protection. From the
answers so far, I gather not.
Related to my previous question, I have a text file,
