Or do you really mean SSH? > Because IMAP over SSL is supported for a long time. No, I mean SSH. SSH uses keys from ssh-agent and doesn't want to store my password for itself. SSH does compression. SSH lets me in to machines which don't have a public-facing IMAP dæmon. For that matter, SSH lets me in to machines which don't even have a public IP address, because it can be configured with a 'ProxyCommand' for certain hosts -- so for hosts in '*.baythorne.internal' it knows it shouldn't try a DNS lookup and direct connection; instead it should run "ssh baythorne.infradead.org exec netcat $host $port" Evolution, just like pine, mutt, etc., can get at its IMAP folders by running "ssh -C mail.baythorne.internal exec /usr/sbin/imapd". Can Sylpheed? -- dwmw2
