 == Mutt VT/Google Mail Setup ==
-This will cover basic mutt configuration files for connecting to VT webmail. VT recommends using POP until the quota system is in place because POP will store local copies, but IMAP still works. These settings will get mutt working with VT's email servers, but there are other settings you probably want if you are unfamiliar with mutt.

-Mutt was originally designed as a [[w:Mail User Agent|Mail User Agent]] (MUA) and relied on locally accessible mailbox and [[w:sendmail|sendmail]] infrastructure. According to the Mutt homepage "though written from scratch, Mutt's initial interface was based largely on the [[w:Elm (email client)|ELM mail client]]". New to Mutt were message scoring and threading capabilities. Support for fetching and sending email via various protocols such as POP3, IMAP and [[w:Simple Mail Transfer Protocol|SMTP]] was added later. Mutt relies on external tools for composing and filtering messages.
