[9fans] External Mailbox config

[Adrian]

Can someone please show me how to config acme for outside email accounts.
I`m sorry but I just don`t understand the man pages for upas/fs
enough to make it work.

The Mail "plug-in" for acme only reads local mailbox filesystem mounted
by upas/fs.

For remote mail configuration you can read de wiki instructions that's
says something like:

For pop3 server

# upas/fs -f '/pop/pop.server.com/user' (this mounts your remote pop3
mailbox)
# acme -l lib/mail (or whatever you want to read mail)

For imap server

# upas/fs -f '/imap/imap.server.com/user'
# acme -l lib/mail . . .

If you read the maillist archives you can see some scripts to download
messages from pop3 server and re-send to your local mbox, and then mount
your local mbox with the command:

# upas/fs

I suggest you to read wiki instructions and then read the man pages.
(That's works for me sometimes XD)

Un saludo.

PD: You must start a factotum instance for the authentication to work.
# auth/factotum

In my factotum keys I have a key

	proto=apop user=rsc server=plan9.bell-labs.com !password=not.telling

In my profile I have

	upas/fs -f /apoptls/plan9.bell-labs.com

That sets the default mailbox, so that running "mail"
or acme Mail will show the right box.

An alternative is to run

	Mail /apoptls/plan9.bell-labs.com

directly, if you don't want that to be the default.

Either way, you need the factotum key.

If you're going to do pop the key should be

	proto=pass user=rsc dom=plan9.bell-labs.com service=pop !password=not.telling

and similarly for IMAP

	proto=pass user=rsc server=plan9.bell-labs.com service=imap !password=not.telling

The pop code really should use server= rather than
dom=, but it doesn't.  Sorry.
