I'm trying to do something similar to what James is doing, but I've had no
success. I've got emacs 24.2.1 running on OS X 10.7, and I installed VM-8.2.0b.
I can run VM, but I can't access my IMAP server, which is from Fastmail.fm.
I've got the basic setup shown below. VM tells me I need a password, but
doesn't prompt me for one. Putting the passwords in the .vm file doesn't help
either.
My .vm is basically:
(setq vm-imap-account-alist
'(
("imap-ssl:mail.messagingengine.com:993:*:login:[email protected]:*" "fm")
)
)
(setq vm-primary-inbox
"imap-ssl:mail.messagingengine.com:993:inbox:login:[email protected]:*")
I get a message like:
Need password for fm:inbox for general operation
but no prompt.
