Re: [Evolution] Silly question about AOL Mail support

[Mike Dougherty <MikeD san rr com>]

This came to me only and I'm sure you intended it go to the list. It
appears as though the mailman for this list isn't setting the
"Reply-To:" header in the email so you will need to make sure your
replies are addressed correctly. Just hitting "Reply" isn't going to do
what you expect it would.


In response to your question. I don't know if that would work. It sounds
like these servers work like skey. You type your password locally, it
generates a new unique passphrase (which is only valid for the one
session) and sends that to the server (never sending your real
password). But that's just a guess. I am not intimately familiar with
IMAPI or the servers in question. Just kind of extrapolating from what
Sinzui said.
