[bug-mailutils] mailutils v0.3 mailbox opening bug: pop://<user> field cannot contain "@" symbol ?

[Sergey Lugovsky]

Hi, guys !

 

There is such a problem with mailutils v0.3:

 

When we try to open mailbox with mailbox_create (&mbox, mailbox_name) using such POP URL form for mailbox_name (as described at: http://www.gnu.org/manual/mailutils-0.2/html_node/URL.html):

 

<pop://[<user>[;AUTH=<auth>address@hidden<host>[:<port>]>

 

...evrything is right if <user> field doesnt contain "@" symbol... for instance, when we use such POP URl:

 

pop://zabava:address@hidden/

 

we open mailbox and read all mails succesfully, but if our <user> looks so: "address@hidden", for example:

 

pop://address@hidden:address@hidden/

 

there we have such error when we run program:

 

opening pop://address@hidden:address@hidden/ failed: No such file or directory

 

 

Version of the package we are using:

mailutils v0.3 compiled on Linux Redhat v9

 

Compilation options used when configuring the package:

gcc `/opt/bt/mailutils-0.3/bin/mailutils-config --compile` `/opt/bt/mailutils-0.3/bin/mailutils-config --link` mbox7.c -o m

 

 

 

Is it not possible to open mailbox if user contains "@" ?

 

Thank you very much for your job !

 

Sincerely yours,

Sergey Lugovsky
