Failing to login to IMAP folder. IMAP REFERRAL mesg
Hi I have been accessing our microsoft exchange folder using IMAP. But yesterday IT did a maintenance and now I cannot access it any more. I get this error [REFERRAL imap://iqbala;aut...@mx.example.com/INBOX] There is no replica for that mailbox Any idea how to work around that? This is my muttrc (sanitized) set spoolfile=imap://example.com:143/INBOX set folder=imap://example.com:143/ set record="=Sent Items" set trash="=Deleted Items" set postponed="=Drafts" set mbox_type=Maildir set imap_user=iqbala imap_pass=secret -- Asif Iqbal PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

Mutt doesn't support mailbox referrals, as you've discovered. Now, it's possible that this is a result of an incorrect setup. It's generally only used when you have a *cluster* of mail servers, so unless the "maintenance" they performed was to install a new email cluster, this sort of error looks suspicious. >Any idea how to work around that? > >This is my muttrc (sanitized) > >set spoolfile=imap://example.com:143/INBOX >set folder=imap://example.com:143/ >set record="=Sent Items" >set trash="=Deleted Items" >set postponed="=Drafts" >set mbox_type=Maildir >set imap_user=iqbala imap_pass=secret The other thing you can do is to simply *manually* handle the referral. Literally, what the Exchange server is telling you is that your personal mailbox can be accessed from that specific URL. So, to manually follow the redirect, do this: set spoolfile=imap://iqb...@mx.example.com/INBOX You may also have to update the value of $folder in a similar fashion.

Mutt doesn't follow imap referrals; but it's relatively easy to simply update your muttrc to use the new location for your email. ~Kyle - -- I'm sick of following my dreams.

I'm curious. Is there a specific reason why mutt doesn't follow referrals, or does someone just need to write the code to do so? -- Noah Sheppard Assistant Computer Resource Manager Taylor University CSE Department nshep...@cse.taylor.edu

Is there a specific reason why mutt doesn't follow > referrals, or does someone just need to write the code to do so? Far as I know, someone just needs to write it. This comes back to the paradigm that mutt was originally designed for: as a mailbox viewer. IMAP support is really more of a "strap on" feature, rather than a foundation upon which mutt bases its design. From mutt's IMAP readme file: IMAP in mutt should be considered beta quality. For the most part it works well, but it is still not quite as stable or as full-featured as some of the other drivers. I believe it is now acceptable for daily use (and that's how I use it now, currently against Cyrus 1.6.24 and previously against UW-IMAP 4.7 and 2000). That was written back in 2001, and hasn't been updated since! ~Kyle - -- These are the times that try men's souls.

"Sending in background" with smtp_url
Hello all, The smtp server at work seems to be hanging randomly lately and after a timeout mutt errors with "Could not send the message" followed by a "Sending in background". >From what I can see, I should only get this when using sendmail, not when using smtp_url. When this happens I have to dig the email from =sent and E to resend it. Is there any way to avoid this from happening (without setting up an MTA on my laptop)? I am using mutt-1.5.19, the smtp server is using TLS on port 443. Bertrand

Why not use a macro that opens the attachment viewer and marks all attachments for deletion and leaves the attachment viewer.
