Package: archivemail
Version: 0.6.2-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch
IMAP authentication does no longer work in archivemail 0.6.2.
Upstream has added the --pwfile option to let archivemail read the IMAP
password from a file, but messed up authentication entirely.
The username encoded in the URL is silently ignored, but $USER
chosen instead. This doesn't work out. Unless you're using the new
--pwfile option, archivemail always prompts for the password, again the
password in the URL is ignored.
The patch was made against current upstream SVN, but the offsets
corrected to match the Debian package in unstable.
