minus-squareoverclock351@lemmy.mlOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 years agoMy only concern with mutt is that AFAIK it stores passwords in clear. any way to get around that?
minus-squarekevincox@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 years agoNot really. The client needs to send your password to the server to login. The alternatives are using a keyring to store the passwords or asking for the password each time. Really just use full disk encryption and it isn’t a serious issue.
