problem with character @ inside username to use pop3 with nail
Thanks zaxxon. I knew this article and I tried it. The article says:
"set folder=imaps://shell-monkey@imap.web.de
The folder option tells Nail where to get the mail from. The string starts with the protocol used to fetch your mail. Possible values beside imaps are imap, pop3, and pop3s. The rest of the folder string consists of your login name and server address."
My case:
Username is
developers@afinformatica.com;
server is mail.afinformatica.com
then I have configured the following:
set folder=pop3://developers@afinformatica.com@mail.afinformatica.com
but, obviously, this's wrong. I also tried:
set folder=pop3://developers@mail.afinformatica.com
then, nail tried to read but pop3 returns
informix@linux:~> nail -f myisp
POP3 error: -ERR Login failed.
Password:
My pop3 server doesn't know username "developers". I think that I need to configurate my domain in somewhere but ¿where?
Thanks again

In this page
http://linux.die.net/man/1/nail says
“If user contains special characters, in particular '/' or '%', they must be escaped in URL notation, as '%2F' or '%25'.”
Then I have tried:
set folder=pop3://developers%40afinformatica.com@mail.afinformatica.com
where %40 is @ in url notation
but this doesn't work ![Mad Smilie](https://www.unix.com/images/smilies/mad.gif)
Any idea?

Hi
I got that pop3 works.
Problem was the nail version. I have tried with another version and it works:
the solution:
developers\@afinformatica.com@mail.afinformatica.com
Thanks for all

set_color
set_color(1) fish set_color(1)
NAME
set_color - set_color - set the terminal color
set_color - set the terminal color
Synopsis
set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]
Description
Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple,
cyan, white and normal.
o -b, --background Set the background color
o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names
o -h, --help Display help message and exit
o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode
o -u, --underline Set underlined mode
o -v, --version Display version and exit
Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.
Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey
font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.
Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.
set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of
ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue.
