I am an Outreachy applicant. Gladly, I am sending this email from mutt after spending some time on its setup and understanding. I am quite new to text based email clients. Here is a list of steps I have understood: 1. Set up vim as mentioned in first patch tutorial. This is what my .vimrc file looks like: filetype plugin indent on syntax on set title set tabstop=8 set softtabstop=8 set shiftwidth=8 set noexpandtab 2. Learn some vim basics, since we set it as default mutt editor. 3. Create and edit .esmtprc and .muttrc files as mentioned in the First Patch tutorial. This is what my .esmtp file looks like: identity "username@gmail.com" hostname smtp.gmail.com:587 username "username@gmail.com" password "not_my_password" starttls required This is what my .muttrc file looks like: set sendmail="/usr/bin/esmtp" set envelope_from=yes set from="Full Name " set use_from=yes set edit_headers=yes set sort_aux = last-date-received set sort = reverse-threads set folder = "imaps://username@gmail.com@imap.gmail.com:993" set imap_pass = "not_my_password" set spoolfile = "+INBOX" set record = "+Sent" set trash = "+Trash" set postponed = "+Drafts" mailboxes =INBOX =Sent =Trash =Drafts =Junk =Other 4. Finally run mutt from your command prompt and start working. Kindly, let me know if something is still missing or is incorrect. Thank you :)
