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... Skip Montanaro
