Subject: Rmail, IMAP and movemail.mailutils
Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2008 20:36:02 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <48AA1572.3070906@pajato.com> (raw)
I suspect there is a sordid history here but Google is not revealing it.
I want to access my IMAP server to process my mail and according to
the documentation for Emacs movemail, it only handles POP whereas Gnu
Mailutils has a version of movemail that does handle IMAP. Now why
would we not want to provide IMAP access for Rmail out of the box? I
certainly do. Is there some history here I should be aware of? I'm
inclined to figure out what is necessary to add to Emacs movemail so
that it can fetch IMAP mail. I do realize that adding IMAP support to
Rmail is more complex than the initial fetch, but it certainly is a good
place to start. No?
