Howto handle @ in pop3-account-username



Hello,

howto handle multiple pop3-Accounts in account-hooks?
So far it's easy and well documented.

I have two accounts on the provider's pop-server with @ in pop3-username.
Howto do that?

This following sample, muttrc-smip, doesn't run

| account-hook "pop://me@xxxxxxxxxxxx@pop\.provider\.com" 'set 
pop_user="me@xxxxxxxxxxxx"; set pop_pass="secret"'
| account-hook "pop://me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@pop\.provider\.com" 'set 
pop_user="me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"; set pop_pass="secret"'
| 
| mailboxes pop://me@xxxxxxxxxxxx@pop\.provider\.com \
|       pop://me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@pop\.provider\.com

I assume the second @ is the problem.

Any Account without any @ runs well.
If I connect manually everything is running well too. 
But that's not a solution for me and not very mutt-like. ;)

Have fun

Michael
