If you don't have a galaxy brain to configure mutt, luckily, someone made a tool for autoconfiguring it: gitlab.com/LukeSmithxyz/mutt-wizard (newer, better, alpha-testing version) github.com/LukeSmithxyz/mutt-wizard (older version using offlineimap)
@@aneeshprasobhan cuz gui's are slow as shit, try opening mutt and gmail on a computer. also its much easier to add functionalities and features to a cli program.
IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is a protocol... it is not a server or mailbox. Alternatively (or legacy rather) would be POP3 (Post Office Protocol)... POP3 downloads the email to your email client from the server, whereas IMAP accesses the mailbox itself. In short, they are a means to access your mailbox. *rant over XD
@@p_serdiuk yup... to over-complicate it, It is a server that provides the IMAP service via the IMAP protocol, which in turn, can be accessed via a client (eg. mutt), giving the ability to view/use the mailbox on the server, on a predetermined port/protocol ;)
i'm new to linux and more serious about computers since a few days but your vids help me growing my understanding and my curiosity of how computers work. big thanks!
@Luke Smith Thanks for making this video. I'm one of those brainlets you mentioned in the Paradox of Documentation video who found configuring Mutt too confusing even despite your automated mutt-wizard. Couldn't get the neomutt folders side-bar thing to work mainly.
SMTPS is port 465, port 587 is StartTLS. SMTPS /IMAPS is considered deprecated in favour of StartTLS though a lot of mail servers still use IMAPS/SMTPS.
Thank you so much for this tutorial, Luke! I'm a beginner and this was one of the things I had the most trouble with. Now I can finally cross setting up mutt off my taskwarrior list ;-)

I actually tried to get into mutt a while ago, but the learning curve was too steep so I couldn't justify spending work time setting it up. Thanks for the walkthrough and dotfiles. I'm not really that fond of the GUI mail clients for Linux.
thanks so much, luke. now i use vim as my email client and thats so much fun. bye bye thunderbird! only thing is, i have to figure out how to deal with attachments at all.
I love this, being able to check my email from the terminal is awsome. I kind of wish I didn't have the page of tecnical info, but it's honestly kind of interesting to see what thunderbird usually hides
Hey Luke great video! Always wanted to get my hands on mutt now I figured is the right time ;) Regarding your smtpS issue, did you try setting `set ssl_force_tls=yes`? This works for me :)
Why? Really? Just for fun? Got it. A brain teaser? Got it. Unsecured email? Useless. BUT, JUST FOR FUN? I'M GOOD WITH THAT! :-). Thanks for the vid. New sub
I am trying to get mutt to read emails and filter out ones from a specific sender, and download an attachment if the name fits certain criteria. I want to use a bash script. But I can't even get it to list the emails from a specific sender, even though I know the sender is in my inbox. It keeps saying 'No recipients were specified.` Where do I even start to get this working?
hey Luke, great video and loved your mutt setup wizard. quick question, maybe youll see it :) Is there a way to tell mailsync to overwrite local folders if they are deleted on the mailserver? i have a bunch of old folders which i used for topics I don't actually need anymore, thus i removed them on the server but I can't figure out how to get rid of them locally in mutt neither automatically nor manually.
I am a total newb to ubuntu and have to use this for a class. I need help please can you or anyone that reads this help. I don't know how you got into the muttrc file or anything. Need help tonight PLEASE, my instructor isn't much help.
I create separate muttrc files for each and have bindings to source one or the other in mutt. See my mutt-wizard for how I do it. There are many ways to do it though. You can have it open multiple accounts at once I believe.
I am using neomutt and for some reason i am unable to source any configuration file that contains the character 'a'. The client simply omits the character. When i try to source the file myself I realize that there is a delay when entering the letter a. Has anyone run into anything like this?
Very cool I think that I am soon going full terminal First of all I need a tiling windows Manager probaly i3 and configure it then I need a cool terminal theme and then I need to configure neovim whish me luck btw I use arch
hey luke , thanks for the video ... setting up mutt now. One question , does mutt support email encryption ? How would i set it up if yes.... ? thanks again
I think I've seen mutt using auth plain as authentication method. Is that a potential security risk? And how can you customize the authentication, like using startTLS etc.?
connects, loads emails, works great (even integrated the neato colors) but it won't send. Says the password is incorrect. I logged on the webserver thinking that I may have had to at least signed in once. Still no workie. I have a sad.
I was spending two days to find out why i am having SASL authentication error or handshake error (but mostly SASL) if i am trying to send email...This issue does affect gmail and hotmail also. port 587 was giving SASL error and port 465 was giving other errors. Finally i have found, that i need to source TWICE the password.gpg. Once for imap and once for smtp. It does not matter that the two passwords are same... Also it does matter where to insert them in muttrc file... Why in neomutt does need source separatelly in two .gpg files imap password.gpg and smtp password.gpg only in gmail and hotmail? Yahoo has not got this problem. Sourcing one file containing two lines for imap and smtp just works fine. But only for yahoo. If i put it in two separate lines but in one file i will get SASL error trying to send email... I am lazy to post this issue on github so writing here, hope will help people who are struggling with the same or similar issue. No need to waist two days from your life. :)
I am such a fan of mutt and have used it for my personal mail for a long time. But trying to extend to other emails is tricky. On my laptop I can grab my gmails no problem. But when I try to do is from a different linux box.... I get a weird error saying ssl_xoath token not found or something close. I have ssl_starttls and force_tls but still I get this strange difference between two systems that should be the same. Any hints on this? How does mutt interact with tls in order to get it working? Maybe TLS is broken on one box? hmmmm do you have any clues on this one?
Hey Luke Smith: small note on the above error. It looks like mutt when even just retrieving emails is walking down a list of "auth methods". For GMail it would try SASL first since it was compiled in. It fails and then uses SSL. It does this even if you have ssl_starttls and ssl_force_tls. It still on my 32 bit system always tried SASL first. It gave the above error and then succeeded using TLS. The only thing I could do was to recompile with sasl turned off. Then it had no error and worked fine. I wish there was a way to disable sasl with a variable. But so far have not found it. Thanks for the great vids!
My internet newbie mistake was making my first 2 emails on mail.com They removed both of them giving me no access which therefore locked me out of any accounts I used with the emails Mail.com is terrible
I got everything set up like you showed us for my Gmail account but Gmail will not allow me to log in with Neomutt. Bummer! I can't set my settings to allow less secure apps either. The setting doesn't show in my security settings menu.
I have struggled with this and maybe some one here might know. Can I use mutt, or an other program, to process incoming mail in a crontab script for example? I know I can send mail using mutt, but I need a way to download and open mail.
Look at 2:39. The thing that threw us off (I say "us" because it threw me off as well) was that, when it came time for Luke to edit that file, he had already started it at this point in the video.
mutt's got all kinds of "HOOKS" you can set up which are just events you subscribe too and can make them trigger whatever. You could imagine subscribing to the new mail event that triggers some command that plays a sound.
