Thanks, this version looks good to me.
I noticed that we are just filling in the password here, since we'll
always fill cred.username from srvc->user. The lines directly above are:
if (!srvc->user) {
fprintf(stderr, "Skipping server %s, no user\n", srvc->host);
goto bail;
}
That comes from the imap.user config variable. I wonder if we should
just pass it off to credential_fill() in this case, too, which will fill
in the username if necessary.
It probably doesn't matter much, though, as nobody is complaining. And
if we were designing from scratch, I would say that "imap.user" and
"imap.pass" would not need to exist, as you can configure
"credential.imaps://host/.*" for the same purpose. But since we would
have to keep supporting them anyway for compatibility, it's not worth
trying to transition.
