I'm trying to set up vm to access my Gmail account. I generated an app
password and need to construct a valid value for
vm-imap-account-alist, but seem unable to accomplish that feat. Using
this:
(setq vm-imap-account-alist
'(
("imap-ssl:imap.gmail.com:993:inbox:login:skip.montanaro@gmail.com:super-secret"
"gmail")
))
I get this error message:
vm-read-imap-folder-name: IMAP folder required in the format
account-name:folder-name
when executing vm-visit-imap-folder. It's not clear to me where the
account-name ends and the folder-name begins given that the details
I've got have so many other colons. I cribbed the above setting from
the help for the vm-imap-account-list variable, substituting my
details for what was given. Working through the fields, it's not clear
to me what "inbox" and "login" mean. I just copied them from the help
message. The other bits make sense. I changed "*" in the help with my
Google app password.
Any help would be appreciated...
