Thanks, Matt, for another great tutorial. I find Neomutt a lot easier on my eyes than GUI mail applications, But I was having a hard time getting it to work with Gmail. I got mine to work by using an app-specific password.
Hell yeah. Thanks. It's so fast compared to using the browser -- after you set it up anyway. Now I can dash to my 10 000th mail in 5 seconds if I want. Great and clear video!
Nothing I do for hotmail in ubuntu 22.04 let log in. Show 'Log-on not successul" it was working before while I was using 20.04. But I remember some hard confs I had to do a year ago to make it work. Something related with gpg version. Or pass conf.. Hard to remember. It's this project generating logs?
Great tutorial brother can you give upload your muttrc config file for study purpose I could create any other folder only shows all mails. How to setup mailboxes command
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... Real pain in the ass to find this out as nowhere has been mentioned this.... :( 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. :)
At 10:33 it asks for your Gmail password and you tell us we are to enter our 2Fa password instead of our actual Gmail password. What about those who just get an email notice asking if its us and to click allow. No actual code is sent. Will this work? Thank you for the video!
No. You're going to need an actual password to do this, it's why you need Google's 2FA turned on, because you'll need to create that app specific password, otherwise it just won't work.
If you want your password to be stored in plain text, yes. But only if you set up mutt manually, not using Mutt-wizard. Mutt-wizard won't do it without encryption and pass installed.
In order to use gmail with neomutt you either have to have 2-factor authentication turned on your Google Account, and then create an app specific password, or you have to turn on Unsafe App access. This might help. support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en
@@TheLinuxCast Does this even work after May 1st now that Google stopped supporting 3rd party apps? I keep trying but it tells me log on not successful even after getting a password for Google's app passwords
