#3264: Erroneous "invalid IMAP path" stops mutt cold
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
Reporter: rdump | Owner: mutt-dev
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: mutt | Version: 1.5.20
Keywords: |
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
I upgraded to mutt 1.5.20 via fink <http://www.finkproject.org/> on Mac OS
X 10.5.7.
I've a new error message showing up in mutt after my upgrade to 1.5.20:
imaps://localhost.example.edu:40993/INBOX is an invalid IMAP path
mutt 1.5.20 will as a result of this no longer proceed to opening my mail.
In my .muttrc, the relevant settings are:
set folder="imaps://localhost.example.edu:40993/"
set spoolfile="imaps://localhost.example.edu:40993/INBOX"
Port 40993 on localhost is port forwarded via ssh to my mail server
running dovecot.
A similar .muttrc for another server running courier and lacking the port
specification (":40993") does work in 1.5.20.
According to <http://mutt.sourceforge.net/imap/> that syntax is OK. Those
settings worked fine for years in previous versions of mutt. The only
change was upgrading to mutt 1.5.20. I don't know whether the bug was
introduced in the mutt base distribution or in a finkproject.org patch.
I'm backing off to mutt 1.5.16 for the nonce, as I'll be offline for a
while very soon, and must have working email before I flee. I can assist
further when I return sometime next week, if necessary.
