Hello Josef.
War das nicht auch Deutsch??

Always a pleasure.

You said that in 2014 already.

|.mailrc file.
|
|The file I have been using since 2014
|for "heirloom mailx" is:
|
|> set imap-cache=~/MMAAIILL
|> set folder=imaps://josef.ju...@imap.gmail.com
|>
|> set smtp-use-starttls

|>
|>
|> set editheaders=1
|> set VISUAL=vim
|> set crt 22
|
|though this file gives me a number of warnings
|when using "s-nail 14.9.23"
I wonder a bit why it has to be .23 not .24?
#?0|kent:nail.git$ MAILRC=/tmp/t.rc mailx -R:u
mailx: Warning: variable superseded or obsoleted: ssl-verify
-> tls-verify
I did change all ssl- to tls- because, you know, some time in the
future people will no longer know what SSL was.
A bit unfortunate, but compatibility will remain until v15, and
this is Christmas 2023 at best.
mailx: Warning: variable superseded or obsoleted: smtp
mailx: Warning: variable superseded or obsoleted: smtp-auth-user
mailx: Variable is read-only: 22
no = in between crt and 22.
mailx: Obsoletion warning: no more expansion of *folder* in "%": please set
*inbox*
mailx: Obsoletion warning: Use of old-style credentials, which will vanish in
v15!
mailx: Please read the manual section "On URL syntax and credential lookup"
IMAP requires a password: ^C^C^C^C^C
^Cmailx: Interrupted
It hangs a bit. With -v you would also have seen
mailx: Ignoring value of boolean variable: editheaders: 1
..And i am afraid with v14.9.10 we already force some changes
again. Sorry for this.
In 2014 we came up with
|> account gmail {
|> set v15-compat
|> set ssl-verify=strict ssl-method=tls1.2
|> set smtp-use-starttls smtp-auth=plain \
|> smtp=josef.jurek%40gmail....@smtp.gmail.com:587
|>}
|> account gmail
So not that much is to be changed, unfortunately a bit, hm.
set v15-compat=y
#set want-oauth
^ uncomment this for oauth
account gmail {
set hostname=gmail.com
set user=josef.jurek
set inbox=imaps://imap.gmail.com
set mta=smtps://smtp.gmail.com:465
if -N want-oauth
set smtp-auth=oauthbearer
set on-main-loop-tick=o-m-l-t on-compose-enter=o-c-e
else
set password=PASSWORD
^ set real password (or read manual, "On URL syntax and credential
lookup")
endif
set tls-config-pairs=MinProtocol=TLSv1.3
set tls-verify=strict
set crt=22
set editheaders
set folder=$inbox
set imap-cache=~/MMAAIILL
set VISUAL=vim
}
if -N want-oauth
define o-m-l-t {
xcall update_access_token

define o-c-e {
xcall update_access_token

set access_token_=0
define update_access_token {
local set i epoch_sec epoch_nsec
vput vexpr i epoch
eval set $i # set epoch_sec/_nsec of vexpr epoch
vput vexpr i + $access_token_ 2100
if $epoch_sec -ge $i
vput ! password python fetchmail-oauth2.py \
^ this assumes fetchmail-oauth2.py in the path.o
-c PATH-TO-ITS-RC-FILE &&\
cat PATH-TO-REFRESH_FILE
^ as posted on the ML
vput csop password trim "$password"
if -n "$verbose"
echo password is <$password>
endif
set access_token_=$epoch_sec
endif
}
^ Granted i have not tested this yet, only adjusted the example
from the manual to work with fetchmail-oauth2.py.

|Can you perhaps supply me with a template .mailrc
|that will work with the current version of s-nail?
I think that should work with .23, but it should really work with
.24.
|>From there, perhaps I can then try to get
|this .mailrc file to work with xoauth2
|authentication, in time for Google's May 30 deadline.
You need to create the client-id etc yourself, as shown in the
manual and better in the fetchmail-oauth posted on the ML.
|Thank you very much for any help you are able
|to offer!
|
|Josef.
|
|P.S.
|
|Is there any security risk to posting my
|.mailrc to the list? (Removing any passwords, of course).
|
|I would not think so, but I thought I would
|check with you.
Especially not if you remove ssl-verify=ignore.
|Thanks again!
Ciao.
I would forward all this to the list...
