This will cover basic mutt configuration files '''Mutt''' is a [[w:text user interface|text-based]] [[w:email client|email client]] for connecting [[w:Unix-like|Unix-like]] systems. It was originally written by Michael Elkins in 1995 and released under the [[w:GNU General Public License|GPL]] version 2 or any later version.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutt_%28email_client%29</ref> 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 [[w:POP3|POP3]], [[w:IMAP|IMAP]] and [[w:Simple Mail Transfer Protocol|SMTP]] was added later. Mutt relies on external tools for composing and filtering messages. == Mutt VT webmail/Google Mail Setup == VT email lives in Google GSuite (i.e. VT recommends using POP until the quota system gmail). Because GSuite is in place because POP deprecating "less secure devices/app-passwords",you will store local copies, but need to use IMAP still worksand SMTP with the XOAUTH2 authentication method. These settings will get  Most mutt working users use [[isync|isync/mbsync]] or [[offlineimap]] as imap reader tools. mbsync is better;offlineimap has longstanding bugs with conflicting message IDs that can cause messages to be deleted, and it is much easier to configure mbsync with VTmultiple imap accounts, however mbsync's email serversauth pluginsupport is fragile, while offlineimap has built-in XOAUTH2 support. Mutt has some [http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#oauth internal] OAUTH support that can be used. Alternately,use an external tool like [https://github.com/cscorley/send.py send.py] as your sendmail drop-in. The caveat of setting up [[OAUTH2]] is that Google has disabled trial credential creation in billedaccounts (i.e. GSuite), but there are other settings so you probably want *cannot* use your VT account to create them. Further, to reduce abuse,Google must approve all public apps; a warning pops up if it is not approved, which can onlybe bypassed if you are unfamiliar the owner of the application. In short, you must create OAUTH credentialswith a non-GSuite google account, add your @vt.edu account to the project, and then use it tolog in. == LUUGmail == Acidburn currently has functional postfix/dovecot. This is how to use it with mutt. === IMAP/SMTP for acidburn === This is a sample configuration for imap/smtp in mutt for acidburn, provided by [[User:echarlie|echarlie]]

If trash is compiled This section assumes you are using mutt with multiple accounts. For that, we reccomend putting the following into <code>.muttrc/vtluug</code> or something similar, and having this in your <code>.mutt can add/muttrc</code> :

set trash = source "+Trash~/.mutt/vtluug"folder-hook $folder 'source ~/.mutt/vtluug'

== SMTP Local Mail on acidburn == This is how one would read and send local mail on acidburn. This is a fully functional <code>.muttrc</code>, however wewould suggest setting your mutt editor, setting your encoding preference (UTF-8), and changing keybindings to preference.
