Haven't had time to look into this, but I kept it for something worthy to play with: <http://www.df7cb.de/blog/2010/Using_multiple_IMAP_accounts_with_Mutt.html> Putting passwords in configs isn't something I like, so I pull them from the Gnome keyring: set my_pw_example=`gnome-keyring-query get mutt_example` set my_pw_otherdomain=`gnome-keyring-query get mutt_otherdomain` account-hook example.org 'set imap_user=me imap_pass=$my_pw_example' account-hook otherdomain.tld 'set imap_user=myself imap_pass=$my_pw_otherdomain' Here's the tool: <http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/HOWTO_Use_gnome-keyring_to_store_SSH_passphrases> Maybe that's a way to go. p@rick -- Postfix - Einrichtung, Betrieb und Wartung <http://www.postfix-buch.com> saslfinger (debugging SMTP AUTH): <http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/saslfinger/>
