Re: [bug-mailutils] Setting up RMAIL for IMAP

[Sergey Poznyakoff]

Hi Duke,

> error

This message means that the mailbox URL is incorrect.  It could be,
for example, if my_login_name or my_password contain characters
that have special meaning for URLs, such as '@'.  Such characters
must be replaced with their hex notation.  E.g. if your password is
'address@hidden', then the correct URL will be:

  imap://my_login_name:address@hidden

Hope that helps.
  
Regards,
Sergey
