Hello.
Would it be possible or acceptable to include reading passwords from command
output so that external password stores like pass[1], Gnome Keyring, or custom
stores password could be used?
pass is becoming increasingly popular. There's now even extension for Firefox[2]
which queries pass locally. It's not about "security" but rather convenience of
having the passwords stored in single place. Password commands are also
supported by OfflineIMAP and isync (mbsync).
Claws-mail could just execute the password command once when opening the IMAP
connection for the first time and then cache it. Is something like this
possible?
Thank you.
