I do not know about Mac. But following are my notes about what I should do when installing slackware and want to use p9p's acme Mail together with my gmail account accessed via imap. If that can help... (I use secstore to keep my passwords, but this should not make a difference.) note: My machine has the name 'perseus'. I guess also something like 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 perseus must be in /etc/hosts. Finally, 'rudas.dom' near the end can probably be whatever you like. I do not know what that is really good for. Ruda #mailing using p9p Mail in acme #have a 9mail script in bin with mailfs -t imap.gmail.com sudo /usr/sbin/stunnel3 -c -d 12345 -r smtp.gmail.com:465 #do what's in $PLAN9/mail/README #then remove upas/vf from the pipeline in mail/lib/qmail #(was the cause of the .suspect being attached to mails; #according to the plan9 mailing list it is no longer used) #add keys like key proto=pass role=client server=perseus service=smtp user=rudolf.sykora@gmail. com !password? key proto=pass role=client server=imap.gmail.com service=imap user=rudolf.sykora !password? #to factotum (... secstore) #1st line in 9mail (above) should now be enough so that #acme's 9 Mail -s could read email #2nd line thereof should arrange things for sending an email, which #can be tested with eg $PLAN9/bin/upas/smtp -ai 'tcp!perseus!12345' rudolf.syk...@gmail.com rudolf.syk...@cern.ch <msg #where msg contains Subject: test test # #Modify $PLAN9/mail/lib/rewrite YOUR.MAIL.GATEWAY change to tcp!perseus!12345 #Modify $PLAN9/mail/lib/remotemail so that the last line reads #something like this exec upas/smtp -ai .rudas.dom $addr rudolf.syk...@gmail.com $* #note particularly the -ai switch
