Email on the terminal with mutt

Too hard? Try configuring mutt with my wizard?

If you don't have a galaxy brain to configure mutt, luckily, someone made a tool for autoconfiguring it:

thankyou, I use email a lot and this increased my efficiency by about 56%

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

That was hella interesting. So many useful CLI software it's unreal ^^

This is super useful. I had been struggling with mutt, but this covers everything ;)).
Thanks for putting this up!

With your help, I learned Latex, maybe now I could give Mutt a try.

Keep up the good work

[irreadings]

Yours is one of the most useful channels I've ever seen

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!

[MasterSergius]

Great! Only one question - can I play Steam games in terminal?

@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.

Switched from offlineimaps to isync (mbsync). It is written in C and a lot lighter in resources. (+ no Python dependencies)

[KatSitchon]

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 ;-)

[heikokraemer]

Dude, you post the colors in the first line of the description … you're clearly a pro!

[StefanovMilen]

If you have time to show how you add multiple mail boxes (accounts) would be great!

Thank you! :)

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.

Nice walk through. Best I've seen. Thanks.

[hejhog]

This is really good Info. I e been using the command line for years and never thought to use mutt

[MarcelDempers]

Ah this is awesome thanks! Time to add this to my Dockerfiles repo! :D

[SuperCape]

please, keep this mutt video flowing! Love them!!
