Granted. Another mistake on my part. Must have not been awake. :)

As I am probably not the only one to make this type of mistake, it would
be nice to have an error message that points out the problem with a line
number and asking to remove the password.

>   account account1 david at xxxxx.xxxxx.net

Yes, with a line like this, it works but with:

   account account1 david at xxxxx.xxxxx.net:143

It fails. This is what I had in the original one. Here is the last series of
tests:

=-=-=-=-=
daemon = 60
logfile = /home/david/.imapfilter.log
set timeout = 120
expunge = no
subscribe = yes
namespace = yes
errors = yes

account account1 david at xxxxx.xxxxx.net:143
  folder inbox1 INBOX

filter spam
  subject "{Spam?}"
action move spam

job spam inbox1
=-=-=-=-=

=-=-=-=-=
$ imapfilter -p -c imapfilterrc
imapfilter: no candidate passwords for encryption found
=-=-=-=-=

Sincerely,
David.
