Configure Mutt for MPE's Mail Services
Sending Mail
Mutt uses by default your system mail configuration. But this may not work from outside the campus.
Alternatively you can configure mutt to deliver the e-mails itself. Edit ~/.muttrc and add:
set smtp_url="smtp://<MYUSERNAME>@ssmtp.mpe.mpg.de:465/" set smtp_pass="<DANGER:_dont_forget_to:_chown_600_~/.muttrc>"
Reading Mails on IMAP Server
Edit ~/.muttrc and add:
set imap_user=<MYUSERNAME> # Automatically log in to this mailbox at startup set spoolfile="imaps://imaps.mpe.mpg.de/INBOX" # Define the = shortcut, and the entry point for the folder browser set folder="imaps://imaps.mpe.mpg.de/INBOX" set record="=Sent" set postponed="=Drafts" # 'No' avoids "Move read messages to ~/mbox ([n]/y):" set move=no
