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.
