hi Uday, I think I managed to set this up, although didn't switch yet. one advantage may be that msmtp can get the needed smtp password from a system keyring/ keychain (on mac os x). see
Ok, that is good. I see no downside to switching to msmtp. So, if you are able to, please go ahead.
"Currently supported keyrings are the Gnome Keyring and the Mac OS X Keychain. The script msmtp-gnome-tool.py can be used to manage Gnome Keyring passwords for msmtp. To manage Mac OS X Keychain passwords, use the Keychain Access GUI application. The ‘account name’ is same as the msmtp ‘user’ argument. The ‘keychain item name’ is smtp://<hostname> where<hostname> matches the msmtp ‘host’ argument." I wonder if this can also be used for incoming imap passwords in vm somehow...
Well, VM doesn't do password storage on its own, but uses Emacs's auth-source library. I think Ted Zlatanov has Mac OS X on his TO-DO list too. Perhaps you can give him a prompt.
Cheers, Uday
