References Using mutt with IMAP ==================== configuration ------------- First, mutt needs to be told to use IMAP. To achieve this, edit '~/.muttrc' (or a file it 'source's) to contain: ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- set spoolfile=imap://user@hostname/INBOX set folder=imap://user@hostname/ ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- problems -------- Move read messages to mbox -------------------------- If mutt asks 'Move read messages to /home/$user/mbox? ([no]/yes):' Your alternatives (to set in '~/.muttrc') are (pick one and ignore the others): 1. don't ask about moving messages, just do it: ---%<--------------------------------------------------------------------- set move=yes ---%<--------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. don't ask about moving messages and _don't_ do it: ---%<--------------------------------------------------------------------- set move=no ---%<--------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. ask about moving message, default answer 'yes': ---%<--------------------------------------------------------------------- set move=ask-yes ---%<--------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. ask about moving message, default answer 'no': ---%<--------------------------------------------------------------------- set move=ask-no ---%<--------------------------------------------------------------------- New mail in a folder just left ------------------------------ There is a bug with dovecot in <=0.99. It can sometimes make mutt think there is new email in a mailbox you just 'left'...http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2004-February/002950.html Authentication realm -------------------- If you are using IMAP with SASL and get error messages like 'Invalid realm' in your dovecot log files, try putting this in your '.muttrc' or '/etc/Muttrc]': ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- set imap_authenticators="plain" ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- It might be easier however to just put the following in your 'dovecot.conf': For Dovecot 1.0: ---%<----------------------------------------------------------------------- auth default { mechanisms = plain } ---%<----------------------------------------------------------------------- For Dovecot 0.99: ---%<----------------------------------------------------------------------- auth_mechanisms = plain ---%<----------------------------------------------------------------------- References ========== * Official mutt homepage [http://www.mutt.org/] * mutt with IMAP documentation [http://mutt.sourceforge.net/imap/] * http://jamespo.org.uk/blog/archives/000271.html (This file was created from the wiki on 2019-02-05 04:42)
