I must be missing something obvious... :-(
After installing Elm ME+ 2.5, any attempt to open my IMAP mailbox
fails with a "Connection refused" error, almost certainly because
a password is required and elm doesn't request one.
Connection refused refused means that server does not listen IMAP port
(or perhaps there is firewall).
Elm ME+ tries
first IMAP port (TCP port 143)
then POP port (TCP port 110,)
If anything other is needed then server needed to be mentioned
on ~/.elm/mail.services or global (/usr/local/lib/)elm.mailservices
-- path is selected compilation time.
If opening of connection succeed, then if server provides
STRATTLS (IMAP) or STLS (POP), then SSL/TLS is activated
(libelmme-tls.so module is used).
Alternative server (and username) can be mentioned on
on ~/elm.hashmarks or global (/home/hurtta/.elm/)hash.marks
and use selected #hashmark to c)hange to folder.
Can anyone tell me how to instruct elm to request the password and
to pass it to the IMAP server? If this is documented somewhere,
feel free to point me to it.
TIA
