Re: [Nmh-workers] mts.conf that works with fastmail?

I have now gotten inc working with FastMail POP. Here is a simplified
version of the command.

  inc -user tlevine(_at_)fastmail(_dot_)com -host pops-proxy.fastmail.com \
    -proxy 'openssl s_client -quiet -connect pops-proxy.fastmail.com:443' \
    -nosasl

And here is the one that I really am using.

  inc -user tlevine+Download(_at_)fastmail(_dot_)com -host 
pops-proxy.fastmail.com \
    -proxy 'openssl s_client -quiet -connect pops-proxy.fastmail.com:443' \
    -nochangecur -nosasl +pop

I wrote a Seive rule in FastMail to copy all mail to the INBOX.Download
folder, and then I inc from that folder. This way, a copy of each
message stays on the server after I delete it.

I know next to nothing about SSL and TLS, so this discussion is

It would be nice to know why inc didn't work, if it was a lack of capability
or some other problem.  If the issue is that they use IMAP and not POP,
then that's something we don't support yet.  But if your server supports
POP, hopefully we should be able to make use of it.

I think my issue was in configuring the encrypted connection.
I configured the sending after I configured the receiving, and
I no longer cared to touch the receiving part by the time
I figured out how to use the encrypted connection for sending.

My host supports POP, but I used IMAP for the move_on_delete
capability. If I were using POP, I would use a different approach
to accomplish the same thing.
