Some useful hints
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- • The critical mutt/neomutt files are in ’~/.config/mutt/’.
- • Put whatever global settings you want in ’muttrc’. mutt-wizard will add some
- lines to this file, which you shouldn't remove unless you know what you’re
- doing, but you can move them up/down over your personal config lines, if you
- need to. If you get binding conflict errors in mutt you might need to do this.
- • Each of the accounts that mutt-wizard generates will have custom settings set
- in a separate file in ’accounts/’. You can edit these freely if you want to
- tinker with settings specific to an account.
- • In ’/usr/share/mutt-wizard’ are several global config files, including mutt-
- wizard’s default settings. You can override this in your muttrc if you wish.
- • For Gmail accounts, remember also to enable third-party ("less secure") appli-
- cations before attempting installation.
- • Protonmail accounts will require you to set up "Protonmail Bridge" to access
- PM's IMAP and SMTP servers. Configure that before running mutt-wizard.
- • If you have a university email, or enterprise-hosted email for work, there
- might be other hurdles or two-factor authentication you have to jump through.
- Some, for example, will want you to create a separate IMAP password, etc.
- • If you use an email server whose mailboxes are not in English, mutt-wizard
- might not be able to guess which is which, so you may have to manually set
- your Inbox, Sent, Trash, Drafts, etc. in your mutt config file. Do this after
- running the wizard in accounts/NAME.muttrc.
+ • Gmail accounts need to create an App Password to use with less secure applica-
+ tions. This password is single-use (i.e. for setup) and will be stored and en-
+ crypted locally. Enabling third-party applications requires turning off two-
+ factor authentication, and this will circumvent that. You might also need to
+ manually "Enable IMAP" in the settings.
+ • Protonmail accounts require a "Protonmail Bridge" to access PM's IMAP and SMTP
+ servers. Configure that before running mutt-wizard. Note that when mutt-wizard
+ asks for a password, you should put in your bridge password, not your account
+ password.
+ • Protonmail bridge is prone to timing out. Watch out for this while adding an
+ account. If the bridge times out, try again. It might help to increase the
+ timeout in your mbsyncrc.
+ • If you have a university email or enterprise-hosted email for work, there might
+ be other hurdles or two-factor authentication you have to jump through. Some,
+ for example, will want you to create a separate IMAP password, etc.
+ • isync is not fully UTF-8 compatible, so non-Latin characters may be garbled
+ (although sync should succeed). Also, mw will not auto-create mailbox shortcuts
+ since it is looking for English mailbox names. I strongly recommend you to set
+ your email language to English on your mail server to avoid these problems.
