Speaking of Mutt, version 1.5.23 was released on March 12, 2014. This is a security bugfix release.

I never heard of them, though :) Tagging (as in moving topic-related mails) I do with filters and then into IMAP folders, and I think this is the way it works, at least in gmail.

yes i believe gmail calls it labels, however the tags i am talking about are different, as you say it's per-message tags.
thunderbird calls it labels but as i said before it's not folders.

thanks

nice, waiting for Debian's update... funny that debian has:

sid (unstable) (mail): text-based mailreader supporting MIME, GPG, PGP and threading
1.5.22-2

1.5.23 was released only a few days ago. As much as we like to think sid has the newest everything, they are sometimes a few months behind upstream, and they often have a good reason for the delay. Even the mutt download page still has 1.5.22. http://www.mutt.org/download.html. If you really think you need 1.5.23, and want something that follows upstream a little more quickly, perhaps you should switch to Arch or CRUX. ;) https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sor ... aintainer=

Thu Mar 13 03:32:38 UTC 2014
n/mutt-1.5.23-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a buffer overflow where malformed RFC2047 header
lines could result in denial of service or potentially the execution
of arbitrary code as the user running mutt.
For more information, see:

(* Security fix *)

i was just saying....

i don't mind wait for debian's update.

Sorry ricardo. It sounded like you were wondering why sid still had 1.5.22-2 when 1.5.23 was already out. My mistake.

Actually, I just noticed that this has been updated in Slackware 14.1 too, as this is a security update.

no problem :D

I had recently set up two-factor authentication on a few of my email accounts, gmail being one of them. I haven't used any email functionality lately b/c my phone is always nearby, so haven't felt the authentication repercussion in external email apps, such as mutt.

Simple process to enable external apps access. Within gmail settings navigate to account settings and generate application-specific passwords. Next step is to to replace your standard gmail password with the newly generated password.

That's it.

Using latest mutt and mutt-patched from sid, the "TLS packet with unexpected length was received" error can be solved using a lower imap_keepalive setting: Seems to work, so I may finally be able to use this Mutt thing. :)
