About a week ago Kieran Barnes was asking how to get Mutt working in a
vpopmail environment.  Answers were "here's my .muttrc" and "set up an
IMAP server", essentially -- good answers, but I'm not sure we ever got
to the heart of what the problem was.

Maybe the question is:  How can you log onto the server, then access
mail that's in a vpop 'virtualdomain'...?  To the server, you're -not-
that user, and you're not user 'vpopmail' either -- so, given that
arrangement, how could you make use of Mutt to handle email from on the
server...?

Would this be solved by having Mutt talk to an IMAP server (or even a POP
server with Mutt's 'unset pop_delete' switch thrown), instead of
accessing the Maildir directly?  And, I expect, you'd have to make all
sorts of changes in Mutt to get the ougoing message headers to turn out
right -- since whichever 'user' you are when using Mutt won't have the
same name as the virtualdomain user.  (scratching head)

Have I got it about right...?
