Boy you mailutils guys really really blew it, perhaps. You never guessed that the username might need to contain a "@", and be independent of the hostname. $ mail --file imaps://[email protected]:[email protected] Cannot create mailbox imaps://[email protected]:[email protected]: Invalid port or service specification So you need to put a workaround into (info "(mailutils) Remote Mailboxes") To prove that this really works, this works fine: $ tail .getmail/getmailrc [retriever] server=homie.mail.dreamhost.com type=SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever port=993 [email protected] password=MYPASS More proof https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/215612887#Example_setup_using_a_secure_IMAP_connection
