Patch for automatic IMAP password   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #32 of 231 |
This patch is if you have external mailboxes accessed via imap
that you want to access without ever entering a password.

*NOTE* This requires storing your password in plaintext on the
local machine. If your environment isn't secure, or you don't
completely understand the ramifications of this, don't use this patch.

After recompiling with the patch, add a line:
pass = "bldfhlsdfj";

to your config in the section for the particular mailbox you
want it on.

Note: If you go through the GUI config and save your config, this will overwrite the password and you will have to readd it....
