Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.21-4~bpo60+1
Severity: normal
Tags: ipv6

For tests with newly installed servers I usually access IMAP and/or
POP3 Servers directly in the URL like this:

mutt -fimap://user:pass@127.0.0.1 
mutt -fpop://user:pass@127.0.0.1

This works correctly as expected.  Now I tried the same with an IPv6
address like

mutt -fimap://user:pass@'[::1]'
mutt -fpop://user:pass@'[::1]'

but with this I run into error messages and mutt terminates with the
following messages:

imap://user:pass@[::1] is an invalid IMAP path
pop://user:pass@[::1] is an invalid POP path

I also tried the same without brackets, but this also fails (as
expected, because isn't defined whether the last colon is part of the
IP or the separator of the port number).

Maybe there is some other syntax expected, but I didn't find a hint in
the manual...

This isn't a big problem, since entering a hostname in /etc/hosts or
using a correctly configured name services works around the problem.
Anyway for testing purpose it would be a good idea to be able to enter
a plain IPv6 address...

Tschoeeee
