= 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
}}}
