I used to have my password in the .muttrc file; bad mistake (I found
out after mailing my rc file to this list). After introducing it
manually for awhile, I wrote it in a small file with restricted
permissions (set imap_pass='my_password') which I source
from the rc file (source ~/my/password/file). The password file is
onle readable and writable by me. This setup is convenient, as I don't
have to type my password every session, though that is not a big
inconvenience. Would this be considered unsafe?
Regards,
Luis
