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.
