If you don't have a galaxy brain to configure mutt, luckily, someone made a tool for autoconfiguring it:
gitlab.com/LukeSmithxyz/mutt-wizard (newer, better, alpha-testing version)
github.com/LukeSmithxyz/mutt-wizard (older version using offlineimap)
thank you for that, i used to mail through pine, that was 20 years ago and itwas faaaast!
At least you won't spend like a year or so to configure mutt.
Luke-ily
Will this make my install look like yours? Yours looks great!
Hi Luke,
What do you think about aerc mail?
Could you do a video on aerc configuring? Maybe even for gmail?
thankyou, I use email a lot and this increased my efficiency by about 56%
@@PaperBenni its a meme you dip
@@PaperBenni How is it even slightly woosh, there's no sarcasm indication you fucking honeydip
Are u sure it didn’t increase it 56.8%
@@PaperBenni you don't get to wooosh someone if you were the one woooshed

How to get rid of any GUI step 43
@@aneeshprasobhan cuz gui's are slow as shit, try opening mutt and gmail on a computer. also its much easier to add functionalities and features to a cli program.
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
"IMAP server" = server that provides a service using IMAP.
"HTTP server" = server that provides a service using HTTP.
You get the idea.
@@p_serdiuk yup... to over-complicate it, It is a server that provides the IMAP service via the IMAP protocol, which in turn, can be accessed via a client (eg. mutt), giving the ability to view/use the mailbox on the server, on a predetermined port/protocol ;)
"rant"? are you canadian?
@@ewkalt4770 hehehe... at this point... I wish I was :)
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.
Steen Schütt check his mutt-wizard. No setting up needed.
With your help, I learned Latex, maybe now I could give Mutt a try.
Keep up the good work
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.
Great! Only one question - can I play Steam games in terminal?
Launch them with the official terminal client developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD
@@OliverBurkill Holy shit this exists
@@OliverBurkill OMG
Dwarf Fortress is coming to Steam so that's one.
@@OliverBurkill can you run minecraft from the terminal though
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!
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!
Switched from offlineimaps to isync (mbsync). It is written in C and a lot lighter in resources. (+ no Python dependencies)
Dude, you post the colors in the first line of the description … you're clearly a pro!
@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.
If you have time to show how you add multiple mail boxes (accounts) would be great!
Thank you! :)
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 ;-)
I would be happy to know you list.
thanks so much, luke. now i use vim as my email client and thats so much fun. bye bye thunderbird! only thing is, i have to figure out how to deal with attachments at all.
This is really good Info. I e been using the command line for years and never thought to use mutt
please, keep this mutt video flowing! Love them!!
Nice walk through. Best I've seen. Thanks.
DIOS MIO.... EL GOBLINO DE LOS AMERICANOS... LA MUTT...

This was kinda cool, might actually try it! Thanks!
I could not love mutt more
Thank you, i have inproved My email handling about 50% or more.

Finally a noob-friendly video on mutt :D I have only one question, how do u configure mutt to read multiple account mails downloaded with isync?
Ah this is awesome thanks! Time to add this to my Dockerfiles repo! :D
Used pine on FreeBSD server back in late 1990's when GUI browsers were in their infancy.
2:08 in GMX you have to manually enable it in the POP3/IMAP option
i got mutt working now thanks to your video. thanks!
Nice color scheme! Gotta love gruvbox
Thaks a lot! Great Tutorial!
You are soooo fast :P
Great, thank you so much. I love mutt!
Hi Luke, nice video. Thank you so much for it! What linux distro you use In this video?
I am trying to get mutt to read emails and filter out ones from a specific sender, and download an attachment if the name fits certain criteria. I want to use a bash script. But I can't even get it to list the emails from a specific sender, even though I know the sender is in my inbox. It keeps saying 'No recipients were specified.` Where do I even start to get this working?
I've recently started using Linux as my desktop, and any time I research anything, this guy has a good informative video on it.
what about multiple email accounts?
I create separate muttrc files for each and have bindings to source one or the other in mutt. See my mutt-wizard for how I do it.
There are many ways to do it though. You can have it open multiple accounts at once I believe.
I am using neomutt and for some reason i am unable to source any configuration file that contains the character 'a'. The client simply omits the character. When i try to source the file myself I realize that there is a delay when entering the letter a.
Has anyone run into anything like this?
8:48 chungus moment!!1
Hey Luke great video! Always wanted to get my hands on mutt now I figured is the right time ;) Regarding your smtpS issue, did you try setting `set ssl_force_tls=yes`? This works for me :)
I use Alpine. I would love your take on that.
@@SaHaRaSquad I mean Alpine the terminal email application.
I love this, being able to check my email from the terminal is awsome. I kind of wish I didn't have the page of tecnical info, but it's honestly kind of interesting to see what thunderbird usually hides
Nice! Are you syncing and handling chats and SMS in Mutt as well? What are you using for the sync for SMS?
Just followed this and its working great! Thank you! Can you limit the amount of headers it downloads?
Why? Really? Just for fun? Got it. A brain teaser? Got it. Unsecured email? Useless. BUT, JUST FOR FUN? I'M GOOD WITH THAT! :-). Thanks for the vid. New sub
FCC failed. i follow exactly the same for 'set record = "+Sent". Please advise
but why
Mine stays in "connecting to "
Why?
mine too
“A test mail for the video”
Thanks cutie for this video
I am a total newb to ubuntu and have to use this for a class. I need help please can you or anyone that reads this help. I don't know how you got into the muttrc file or anything. Need help tonight PLEASE, my instructor isn't much help.
Shawn i hope u got help
@@minhajsixbyte Luke quickly started the file at 2:39. What threw us off was that he just switched back to the file he had already started.
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...
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. :)
Is it possible in mutt if my gmail has 2factor authentication?
Yes it is....
support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en
you can set app passwords which you can use with mutt
This might be useful, thanks!
Love this video!
This is so helpful!
Thank you!!!
what wrong with s-nail (mailx)
What keyboard are you using?
My internet newbie mistake was making my first 2 emails on mail.com
They removed both of them giving me no access which therefore locked me out of any accounts I used with the emails
Mail.com is terrible
lmao 1:34 "... mail.com, which is just some boomer website"
hey Luke, great video and loved your mutt setup wizard. quick question, maybe youll see it :) Is there a way to tell mailsync to overwrite local folders if they are deleted on the mailserver? i have a bunch of old folders which i used for topics I don't actually need anymore, thus i removed them on the server but I can't figure out how to get rid of them locally in mutt neither automatically nor manually.
how does this work with html designed templates and attachments.
Thanks dude !
Seems funny to probe :D !
I am wanting to install this to an ubuntu server. I need to cut some text from the email and past it in a command line. Can I do this in mutt?
You‘re a godsend.
Brb opening my email in Gmail.
Be sure to enable third-party applications or Gmail might block you.
@@LukeSmithxyz Alternatively, Google allows for generating per-app passwords, that can be used even if 2-step verification is enabled
@@LukeSmithxyz it sent me in a circle to do that, given up at this point.
@@lieutanant8058 This worked for me
connects, loads emails, works great (even integrated the neato colors) but it won't send. Says the password is incorrect.
I logged on the webserver thinking that I may have had to at least signed in once. Still no workie.
I have a sad.
when I go to send an email I get "error sending message child exited 127 (exec error)
i was thinking of watching the video and then maybe commenting on it but i prefer just showing everybody that im the first one to comment on it
@7:43 -- how it can show no mailboxes, if you have Inbox?? )))
le 56% face
Very cool I think that I am soon going full terminal First of all I need a tiling windows Manager probaly i3 and configure it then I need a cool terminal theme and then I need to configure neovim whish me luck
btw I use arch
Why would you need a WM if you're going full terminal?
On my sidebar the full path of the mailboxes appear. How do I make it to appear only the mailbox name?
I have struggled with this and maybe some one here might know. Can I use mutt, or an other program, to process incoming mail in a crontab script for example? I know I can send mail using mutt, but I need a way to download and open mail.
How do save the configure file, and go back to the main console?
Whats the theme for your terminal? How did you get those pretty colors??
hey luke , thanks for the video ... setting up mutt now. One question , does mutt support email encryption ? How would i set it up if yes.... ?
thanks again
Would anyone know of a similar term based app, but for receiving text?
email? is that like discord?
does muttwizard work with the original mutt program??
I get a SASL authentication fail when I try to send mail does anybody else have it?
Which os you are using?
Can't get office365 mail.
wow im early
be warned this email client is somewhat vulnerable
can somebody tell me what DE is he using and how to get the same visuals as he has.
what language is this being done in?
is it possible to configure more than one account and switch between them in neomutt?
And how does Mutt deal with HTML e-mail?
You can pass the passwords as Environment variable in the system.
Like so imap_pass = $IMAP_PASS
I think I've seen mutt using auth plain as authentication method. Is that a potential security risk? And how can you customize the authentication, like using startTLS etc.?
Neomutt is not in the Debian Stable (Stretch) repos. Why? That sucks. You have to compile or move to testing.
Drumpf_4_All because debian repo sucks
i have never gotten it to work with emacs
What is with the numbers in Vim?
but I guess ot is not possible to the images in the mails you get in mutt, or attaching files when sending emails for example.
Santiago Suarez it’s possible. And it’s convenient too, check his latest mutt-wizard video.
All email clients suck. This one just sucks less. :)
