Subject: [PATCH] doc: add POP3 archive link, favor AUTH=ANONYMOUS for IMAP
Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2022 18:44:24 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220816184424.31653-1-bofh@yhbt.net> (raw)
POP3 access is less straightforward since it requires a UUID
cookie embedded into the username to track deletes, and also
requires embedding the mailbox name into the username (since
POP3 has a 1:1 user:folder mapping). Of course, a Tor .onion
endpoint is supported for anonymity.
AUTH=ANONYMOUS is recommended for IMAP since bots were attempting
to use compromised logins to scrape the public mail archives for
private info and burning up my CPU.
