pop3-version "2.03" password caching defeated by nnmail.el
Hello Andy,
thanks for the great UIDL support, it make life much easier!
Password caching, however, still doesn't work because
`nnmail-pop3-movemail' sets pop3-password from nnmail-pop-password,
which is not cached.
Should pop3.el have it's own substitute for nnmail-pop3-movemail,
perhaps named pop3-pop3-movemail until nnmail is fixed?
The comment
;; To use this with gnus add:
;; (setq nnmail-movemail-program 'nnmail-pop3-movemail)
;; to your .emacs
in pop3.el would have to change then too.
Regards,
Adrian
(defun nnmail-pop3-movemail (inbox crashbox)
"Function to move mail from INBOX on a pop3 server to file CRASHBOX."
(let ((pop3-maildrop
(substring inbox (match-end (string-match "^po:" inbox))))
(pop3-password
(or nnmail-pop-password
(nnmail-read-passwd
(format "Password for %s: " inbox)))))
(pop3-movemail crashbox)))
