11.3 Secure SHell

Mew supports SSH version 1 and version 2 and OpenSSH for SSH. You must execute "ssh" on the command and obtain server's public key before you use Mew with SSH. That is, you should set up so that you can login the server with your user password or with the password to decrypt the secret key of the local machine. Of source, you can omit the password to decrypt the secret key if you use "ssh-agent".

After that, you should configure SSH variables relating to each protocol. For example, if you want to use POP over SSH, set ‘mew-pop-ssh-server’ to your SSH server name.

While a connection is protected by SSH, a picture of a lock is shown in the mode line.
