Hello,

This is a guide to setup mutt, the recommended text-based email client
for the Outreachy Linux community.

If you have not read the newbies tutorial, please read it first to see the 
steps for the initial setup of mutt. This guide is a follow-up to the initial
setup steps decribed in the newbies tutorial.

Here, you will learn how to setup your mutt to access emails in
your Gmail inbox and reply to them. 

Next, set up the mail client, mutt, with some defaults, by creating a
.muttrc file in your /home and add the following lines to it:

set sendmail="/usr/bin/esmtp"
set envelope_from=yes
set from="Your name <your_username@gmail.com>"
set use_from=yes
set edit_headers=yes
set editor="vi"
set send_charset="us-ascii:utf-8"
set sort_aux =  last-date-received
set sort = reverse-threads

# IMAP settings
set imap_user = "your_username@gmail.com"
set imap_pass = "mailbox/app password"

# SMTP settings
set smtp_url = "smtps://your_username@smtp.gmail.com"
set smtp_pass = "mailbox/app password"

# Remote Gmail folders
set folder = "imaps://imap.gmail.com:993"
set spoolfile = "+INBOX"
set record = "+[Gmail]/Sent Mail"
set trash = "+[Gmail]/Trash"
set postponed = "+[Gmail]/Drafts"


Note: The imap_pass and smtp_pass can be your App password or email
password

I hopes this helps

Best wishes
Gilbert
