I hope that's optional and simply an auth-source backend (let me know if
you need help implementing that). I'd rather not put my authinfo on an
IMAP server, even if encrypted:
- mail folders get wiped by accident and that info is too important
- the mail admin has full access to the spool
- having no IMAP connectivity means you have no passwords for other
services
- it's not in a file, so bugs in EPA/EPG or elsewhere could result in
storing unencrypted data on the IMAP server
- can't version it with Git, like I do now
Others might feel it's OK, of course.
