Hi
I just install the new NMH version
configure --enable-nmh-pop --prefix=/usr/local/nmh-1.0.4
uname -a
Linux www-rocq1.inria.fr 2.4.5 #2 Fri Sep 21 18:55:59 CEST 2001 i686
unknown
why the 1.0.4 don't ask me "Password...:" when I do :
[buffenoi@www-rocq1 bin]$ ./inc -host pop-rocq -notruncate
I had some thoughts about bringing nmh into the 21st century which is quite likely
to provoke some discussion:
An IMAP back end will require a *lot* more state to be maintained between
nmh commands in order to get any reasonable performance.
MH was written as a collection of related commands

There is one other problem with getting nmh to work over IMAP. The
IMAP daemon's themselves must understand the MH format. I believe UW
has mh support as a legacy, but I haven't spent enough time to get
my own use of it working. Any feedback on IMAP daemons that work with
the MH format.

I have a recent experience with nmh that prompts me to sing its praises once
more. I've had my workstation offline for a few weeks now, and didn't really
give it much thought as to how much email I would accumulate in that time. My
normal process for retrieving and filtering email involves

The day that happens to MH/nmh will be the day that I switch to
using mutt.

If such a disaster were to ever happen, the new system should not
be called mh or nmh -- it is too violative of the spirit of mh.
I hope that, in parallel, nmh would continue to grow.

The behavior I am seeing is undesirable, but it appears to be exhibited
in the old MH stuff so I don't know if you would call it a bug.
m_gmprot() appears to return the file access mode to use for protecting
new files. The value is user configurable and the default value 600.
600 is a good

The problem is, I want *some* folders to be on my imap server. I
want some local. And I want to download some mail from some imap

local spool
