Right now, it doesn't sound like you're understanding what you're trying to do.

You didn't need to -- the one you echoed didn't work as the login, so
factotum promted for the one that did.

The echo is only needed if you ran `upas/fs -n`. I use that
so I can put the upas command into my profile, and not wait
for it to try loading the mailbox. On slow networks the sync
can take a long time. If I put the upas command in my profile,
it's available for all windows.

If you don't use `-n`, then you don't need the echo. You're
already done.

So, right now, half the stuff you're mentioning is just
not needed.

So, if you have factotum in your profile, all you need
is:

	upas/fs -f /imaps/imap-server/username
	(enter password)
	acme
	(type Mail, middle click on it)

and you should be done.
