45    .Nm
46    has the capability to encrypt the accounts' passwords and store them
47    separately at
48    .Pa $HOME/.imapfilter/passwords .
49    These passwords are encrypted with a master password, supplied by
50    the user. The Blowfish block cipher with a 128bit key in CBC mode
51    is used to do the encryption. The master password is entered each
52    time
53    .Nm
54    is run, in order to decrypt the password file and retrieve the
55    actual passwords of the user's IMAP mail accounts.
56    .Pp
57    First of all, while defining accounts in the
58    .Nm
59    configuration file, the user must specify only the username and server
60    in those accounts he/she wishes to encrypt the passwords before storage.
61    Then, one can enter the interactive passwords' editor by using the
62    .Fl p
63    option.
64    .Pp
65    After entering the interactive password editor, a command line prompt
66    is used to manage the passwords. The available commands are:
67    .Bl -tag -width Ds
68    .It Cm c

70    number, specifying which account's password should be cleared.
71    .It Cm e
72    Edits an account's password entry. It takes as an argument a
73    number, the account's password to be edited.
74    .It Cm h
75    Prints a brief help message of all commands.
76    .It Cm l
77    Lists all accounts. Specifically a number that describes the
78    account, the hostname of the IMAP mail server, the username
79    and the password (if one is already specified).
