1) build and install mailfs
cd $PLAN9/src/cmd/upas/
mk install
cd nfs
mk install

2) configuration
cd $PLAN9/log; chmod 666 smtp smtp.debug smtp.fail mail >smtp
>smtp.debug >smtp.fail >mail
cd $PLAN9/mail/lib
edit rewrite
optionnally edit remotemail

3) authentication
factotum
factotum -g 'proto=pass service=imap server=your.imap.server
user=you_there !password?'

4) run it!
mailfs -t your.imap.server (-t is for tls)
button 2 exec on  'Mail' in acme (without the quotes)
(you need the plumber running for everything to work as expected in acme)

hth,
Mathieu
