I have a not very complex script; it uses the mutt tree as reference and
makes symlinks for dovecot:

I see. Not something you'd probably be able to do if you didn't have
login access to the IMAP server.

Laziness. Not a very strong reason, but I just wondered if restricting
the permissions of the file would be enough protection. From the

Related to my previous question, I have a text file,

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 cr

Dear list,
our E-mail-Server uses dovecot, which delivers mail to and from

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
