What I do is keep my passwords in a file encrypted by GPG and have mutt do: source "gpg -q --textmode -d ~/.neomutt/passwords.gpg |"
that way they're not readable except by use of a passworded GPG key. -- Larry Rosenman http://www.lerctr.org/~ler Phone: +1 214-642-9640 E-Mail: larry...@gmail.com US Mail: 5708 Sabbia Drive, Round Rock, TX 78665-2106 On 9/27/18, 9:50 AM, "dovecot on behalf of Victor Sudakov" <dovecot-boun...@dovecot.org on behalf of v...@mpeks.tomsk.su> wrote: Thomas Leuxner wrote: > > > > >> However, I often read and modify the mailboxes locally with Mutt (e.g. > > > >> append and delete mails). > > Why not use Mutt's IMAP capabilities and keep the indexes nice and clean? Maybe the only reason is that I don't want to bother with authentication and don't want to keep my password in muttrc. Anyway, my mail is sorted and delivered to ~/Mail/* by procmail, so the mboxes will be touched by a process outside of dovecot. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN 2:5005/49@fidonet http://vas.tomsk.ru/
