Hi, I am unable to configure mutt to use with gmail. Gmail has been providing POP3 access for its users. My Muttrc is as follows : # # System configuration file for Mutt # # default list of header fields to weed when displaying # ignore "from " received content- mime-version status x-status message-id ignore sender references return-path lines # imitate the old search-body function macro index \eb '/~b ' 'search in message bodies' # simulate the old url menu macro index \cb |urlview\n 'call urlview to extract URLs out of a message' macro pager \cb |urlview\n 'call urlview to extract URLs out of a message' # Show documentation when pressing F1 macro generic <f1> "!less /usr/share/doc/mutt-1.4.1/manual.txt\n" "Show Mutt documentation" macro index <f1> "!less /usr/share/doc/mutt-1.4.1/manual.txt\n" "Show Mutt documentation" macro pager <f1> "!less /usr/share/doc/mutt-1.4.1/manual.txt\n" "Show Mutt documentation" # If Mutt is unable to determine your site's domain name correctly, you can # set the default here. # # set hostname=cs.hmc.edu # If your sendmail supports the -B8BITMIME flag, enable the following # # set use_8bitmime ## ## More settings ## # set abort_nosubject=ask-yes # # Name: abort_nosubject # Type: quadoption # Default: ask-yes # # # If set to yes, when composing messages and no subject is given # at the subject prompt, composition will be aborted.

Note that this may override # your color choices, and even present a security problem, since a # message could include a line like "[-- PGP output follows ..." and # give it the same color as your attachment color. # # # set alternates="" # # Name: alternates # Type: regular expression # Default: "" # # # A regexp that allows you to specify alternate addresses where # you receive mail. This affects Mutt's idea about messages from you # and addressed to you. # # # set arrow_cursor=no # # Name: arrow_cursor # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When set, an arrow (``->'') will be used to indicate the current entry # in menus instead of hiliting the whole line.

For a full listing of defined printf()-like sequences see # the section on ``$index_format''. # # # set autoedit=no # # Name: autoedit # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When set along with ``$edit_headers'', Mutt will skip the initial # send-menu and allow you to immediately begin editing the body of your # message. The send-menu may still be accessed once you have finished # editing the body of your message. # # Also see ``$fast_reply''. # # # set auto_tag=no # # Name: auto_tag # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When set, functions in the index menu which affect a message # will be applied to all tagged messages (if there are any).

This is independent of the setting of the # ``$beep'' variable. # # # set bounce_delivered=yes # # Name: bounce_delivered # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When this variable is set, mutt will include Delivered-To headers when # bouncing messages. Postfix users may wish to unset this variable. # # # set charset="" # # Name: charset # Type: string # Default: "" # # # Character set your terminal uses to display and enter textual data. # # # set check_new=yes # # Name: check_new # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # Note: this option only affects maildir and MH style # mailboxes. # # When set, Mutt will check for new mail delivered while the # mailbox is open. Especially with MH mailboxes, this operation can # take quite some time since it involves scanning the directory and # checking each file to see if it has already been looked at. If # check_new is unset, no check for new mail is performed # while the mailbox is open. # # # set collapse_unread=yes # # Name: collapse_unread # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When unset, Mutt will not collapse a thread if it contains any # unread messages. # # # set uncollapse_jump=no # # Name: uncollapse_jump # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When set, Mutt will jump to the next unread message, if any, # when the current thread is uncollapsed. # # # set compose_format="-- Mutt: Compose [Approx. msg size: %l Atts: %a]%>-" # # Name: compose_format # Type: string # Default: "-- Mutt: Compose [Approx. msg size: %l Atts: %a]%>-" # # # Controls the format of the status line displayed in the \fCompose # menu. This string is similar to ``$status_format'', but has its own # set of printf()-like sequences: # # %a total number of attachments # %h local hostname # %l approximate size (in bytes) of the current message # %v Mutt version string # # # See the text describing the ``$status_format'' option for more # information on how to set ``$compose_format''. # # # set confirmappend=yes # # Name: confirmappend # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When set, Mutt will prompt for confirmation when appending messages to # an existing mailbox. # # # set confirmcreate=yes # # Name: confirmcreate # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When set, Mutt will prompt for confirmation when saving messages to a # mailbox which does not yet exist before creating it. # # # set connect_timeout=30 # # Name: connect_timeout # Type: number # Default: 30 # # # Causes Mutt to timeout a network connection (for IMAP or POP) after this # many seconds if the connection is not able to be established. A negative # value causes Mutt to wait indefinitely for the connection to succeed. # # # set copy=yes # # Name: copy # Type: quadoption # Default: yes # # # This variable controls whether or not copies of your outgoing messages # will be saved for later references. Also see ``$record'', # ``$save_name'', ``$force_name'' and ``fcc-hook''. # # # set date_format="!%a, %b %d, %Y at %I:%M:%S%p %Z" # # Name: date_format # Type: string # Default: "!%a, %b %d, %Y at %I:%M:%S%p %Z" # # # This variable controls the format of the date printed by the ``%d'' # sequence in ``$index_format''. This is passed to the strftime # call to process the date. See the man page for strftime(3) for # the proper syntax. # # Unless the first character in the string is a bang (``!''), the month # and week day names are expanded according to the locale specified in # the variable ``$locale''. If the first character in the string is a # bang, the bang is discarded, and the month and week day names in the # rest of the string are expanded in the C locale (that is in US # English). # # # set default_hook="~f %s !~P | (~P ~C %s)" # # Name: default_hook # Type: string # Default: "~f %s !~P | (~P ~C %s)" # # # This variable controls how send-hooks, message-hooks, save-hooks, # and fcc-hooks will # be interpreted if they are specified with only a simple regexp, # instead of a matching pattern. The hooks are expanded when they are # declared, so a hook will be interpreted according to the value of this # variable at the time the hook is declared. The default value matches # if the message is either from a user matching the regular expression # given, or if it is from you (if the from address matches # ``$alternates'') and is to or cc'ed to a user matching the given # regular expression. # # # set delete=ask-yes # # Name: delete # Type: quadoption # Default: ask-yes # # # Controls whether or not messages are really deleted when closing or # synchronizing a mailbox. If set to yes, messages marked for # deleting will automatically be purged without prompting. If set to # no, messages marked for deletion will be kept in the mailbox. # # # set delete_untag=yes # # Name: delete_untag # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # If this option is set, mutt will untag messages when marking them # for deletion. This applies when you either explicitly delete a message, # or when you save it to another folder. # # # set digest_collapse=yes # # Name: digest_collapse # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # If this option is set, mutt's revattach menu will not show the subparts of # individual messages in a digest. To see these subparts, press 'v' on that menu. # # # set display_filter="" # # Name: display_filter # Type: path # Default: "" # # # When set, specifies a command used to filter messages. When a message # is viewed it is passed as standard input to $display_filter, and the # filtered message is read from the standard output. # # # set dsn_notify="" # # Name: dsn_notify # Type: string # Default: "" # # # Note: you should not enable this unless you are using Sendmail # 8.8.x or greater. # # This variable sets the request for when notification is returned. The # string consists of a comma separated list (no spaces!) of one or more # of the following: never, to never request notification, # failure, to request notification on transmission failure, # delay, to be notified of message delays, success, to be # notified of successful transmission. # # Example: set dsn_notify="failure,delay" # # # set dsn_return="" # # Name: dsn_return # Type: string # Default: "" # # # Note: you should not enable this unless you are using Sendmail # 8.8.x or greater. # # This variable controls how much of your message is returned in DSN # messages. It may be set to either hdrs to return just the # message header, or full to return the full message. # # Example: set dsn_return=hdrs # # # set duplicate_threads=yes # # Name: duplicate_threads # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # This variable controls whether mutt, when sorting by threads, threads # messages with the same message-id together. If it is set, it will indicate # that it thinks they are duplicates of each other with an equals sign # in the thread diagram. # # # set edit_headers=no # # Name: edit_headers # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # This option allows you to edit the header of your outgoing messages # along with the body of your message. # # # set editor="" # # Name: editor # Type: path # Default: "" # # # This variable specifies which editor is used by mutt. # It defaults to the value of the VISUAL, or EDITOR, environment # variable, or to the string "vi" if neither of those are set. # # # set encode_from=no # # Name: encode_from # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When set, mutt will quoted-printable encode messages when # they contain the string "From " in the beginning of a line. # Useful to avoid the tampering certain mail delivery and transport # agents tend to do with messages. # # # set envelope_from=no # # Name: envelope_from # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When set, mutt will try to derive the message's envelope # sender from the "From:" header. Note that this information is passed # to sendmail command using the "-f" command line switch, so don't set this # option if you are using that switch in $sendmail yourself, # or if the sendmail on your machine doesn't support that command # line switch. # # # set escape="~" # # Name: escape # Type: string # Default: "~" # # # Escape character to use for functions in the builtin editor. # # # set fast_reply=no # # Name: fast_reply # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When set, the initial prompt for recipients and subject are skipped # when replying to messages, and the initial prompt for subject is # skipped when forwarding messages. # # Note: this variable has no effect when the ``$autoedit'' # variable is set. # # # set fcc_attach=yes # # Name: fcc_attach # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # This variable controls whether or not attachments on outgoing messages # are saved along with the main body of your message. # # # set fcc_clear=no # # Name: fcc_clear # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When this variable is set, FCCs will be stored unencrypted and # unsigned, even when the actual message is encrypted and/or signed. # # # set folder="~/Mail" # # Name: folder # Type: path # Default: "~/Mail" # # # Specifies the default location of your mailboxes. A `+' or `=' at the # beginning of a pathname will be expanded to the value of this # variable. Note that if you change this variable from the default # value you need to make sure that the assignment occurs before # you use `+' or `=' for any other variables since expansion takes place # during the `set' command. # # # set folder_format="%2C %t %N %F %2l %-8.8u %-8.8g %8s %d %f" # # Name: folder_format # Type: string # Default: "%2C %t %N %F %2l %-8.8u %-8.8g %8s %d %f" # # # This variable allows you to customize the file browser display to your # personal taste. This string is similar to ``$index_format'', but has # its own set of printf()-like sequences: # # %C current file number # %d date/time folder was last modified # %f filename # %F file permissions # %g group name (or numeric gid, if missing) # %l number of hard links # %N N if folder has new mail, blank otherwise # %s size in bytes # %t * if the file is tagged, blank otherwise # %u owner name (or numeric uid, if missing) # %>X right justify the rest of the string and pad with character "X" # %|X pad to the end of the line with character "X" # # # set followup_to=yes # # Name: followup_to # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # Controls whether or not the Mail-Followup-To header field is # generated when sending mail. When set, Mutt will generate this # field when you are replying to a known mailing list, specified with # the ``subscribe'' or ``lists'' commands. # # This field has two purposes. First, preventing you from receiving # duplicate copies of replies to messages which you send to mailing # lists. Second, ensuring that you do get a reply separately for any # messages sent to known lists to which you are not subscribed. The # header will contain only the list's address for subscribed lists, # and both the list address and your own email address for unsubscribed # lists. Without this header, a group reply to your message sent to a # subscribed list will be sent to both the list and your address, # resulting in two copies of the same email for you. # # # set force_name=no # # Name: force_name # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # This variable is similar to ``$save_name'', except that Mutt will # store a copy of your outgoing message by the username of the address # you are sending to even if that mailbox does not exist. # # Also see the ``$record'' variable. # # # set forward_decode=yes # # Name: forward_decode # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # Controls the decoding of complex MIME messages into text/plain when # forwarding a message. The message header is also RFC2047 decoded. # This variable is only used, if ``$mime_forward'' is unset, # otherwise ``$mime_forward_decode'' is used instead. # # # set forward_format="[%a: %s]" # # Name: forward_format # Type: string # Default: "[%a: %s]" # # # This variable controls the default subject when forwarding a message. # It uses the same format sequences as the ``$index_format'' variable. # # # set forward_quote=no # # Name: forward_quote # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When set forwarded messages included in the main body of the # message (when ``$mime_forward'' is unset) will be quoted using # ``$indent_string''. # # # set from="" # # Name: from # Type: e-mail address # Default: "" # # # When set, this variable contains a default from address. It # can be overridden using my_hdr (including from send-hooks) and # ``$reverse_name''. # # Defaults to the EMAIL environment variable's content. # # # set gecos_mask="^[^,]*" # # Name: gecos_mask # Type: regular expression # Default: "^[^,]*" # # # A regular expression used by mutt to parse the GECOS field of a password # entry when expanding the alias. By default the regular expression is set # to "^[^,]*" which will return the string up to the first "," encountered. # If the GECOS field contains a string like "lastname, firstname" then you # should set the gecos_mask=".*". # # This can be useful if you see the following behavior: you address a e-mail # to user ID stevef whose full name is Steve Franklin. If mutt expands # stevef to "Franklin" stevef@xxxxxxx then you should set the gecos_mask to # a regular expression that will match the whole name so mutt will expand # "Franklin" to "Franklin, Steve". # # # set hdrs=yes # # Name: hdrs # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When unset, the header fields normally added by the ``my_hdr'' # command are not created. This variable must be unset before # composing a new message or replying in order to take effect. If set, # the user defined header fields are added to every new message. # # # set header=no # # Name: header # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When set, this variable causes Mutt to include the header # of the message you are replying to into the edit buffer. # The ``$weed'' setting applies. # # # set help=yes # # Name: help # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When set, help lines describing the bindings for the major functions # provided by each menu are displayed on the first line of the screen. # # Note: The binding will not be displayed correctly if the # function is bound to a sequence rather than a single keystroke. Also, # the help line may not be updated if a binding is changed while Mutt is # running. Since this variable is primarily aimed at new users, neither # of these should present a major problem. # # # set hidden_host=no # # Name: hidden_host # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When set, mutt will skip the host name part of ``$hostname'' variable # when adding the domain part to addresses. This variable does not # affect the generation of Message-IDs, and it will not lead to the # cut-off of first-level domains. # # # set hide_limited=no # # Name: hide_limited # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When set, mutt will not show the presence of missing messages in the # thread tree. # # # set hide_missing=yes # # Name: hide_missing # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When set, mutt will not show the presence of messages that are hidden # by limiting, in the thread tree. # # # set hide_top_limited=no # # Name: hide_top_limited # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When set, mutt will not show the presence of missing messages at the # top of threads in the thread tree. Note that when $hide_limited is # set, this option will have no effect. # # # set hide_top_missing=yes # # Name: hide_top_missing # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When set, mutt will not show the presence of messages that are hidden # by limiting, at the top of threads in the thread tree.Note that when # $hide_missing is set, this option will have no effect. # # # set history=10 # # Name: history # Type: number # Default: 10 # # # This variable controls the size (in number of strings remembered) of # the string history buffer. The buffer is cleared each time the # variable is set. # # # set honor_followup_to=yes # # Name: honor_followup_to # Type: quadoption # Default: yes # # # This variable controls whether or not a Mail-Followup-To header is # honored when group-replying to a message. # # # set hostname="" # # Name: hostname # Type: string # Default: "" # # # Specifies the hostname to use after the ``@'' in local e-mail # addresses. This overrides the compile time definition obtained from # /etc/resolv.conf. # # # set ignore_list_reply_to=no # # Name: ignore_list_reply_to # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # Affects the behaviour of the reply function when replying to # messages from mailing lists. When set, if the ``Reply-To:'' field is # set to the same value as the ``To:'' field, Mutt assumes that the # ``Reply-To:'' field was set by the mailing list to automate responses # to the list, and will ignore this field. To direct a response to the # mailing list when this option is set, use the list-reply # function; group-reply will reply to both the sender and the # list. # # # set imap_authenticators="" # # Name: imap_authenticators # Type: string # Default: "" # # # This is a colon-delimited list of authentication methods mutt may # attempt to use to log in to an IMAP server, in the order mutt should # try them. Authentication methods are either 'login' or the right # side of an IMAP 'AUTH=xxx' capability string, eg 'digest-md5', # 'gssapi' or 'cram-md5'. This parameter is case-insensitive. If this # parameter is unset (the default) mutt will try all available methods, # in order from most-secure to least-secure. # # Example: set imap_authenticators="gssapi:cram-md5:login" # # Note: Mutt will only fall back to other authentication methods if # the previous methods are unavailable. If a method is available but # authentication fails, mutt will not connect to the IMAP server. # # # set imap_delim_chars="/." # # Name: imap_delim_chars # Type: string # Default: "/." # # # This contains the list of characters which you would like to treat # as folder separators for displaying IMAP paths. In particular it # helps in using the '=' shortcut for your folder variable. # # # set imap_force_ssl=no # # Name: imap_force_ssl # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # If this variable is set, Mutt will always use SSL when # connecting to IMAP servers. # # # set imap_home_namespace="" # # Name: imap_home_namespace # Type: string # Default: "" # # # You normally want to see your personal folders alongside # your INBOX in the IMAP browser. If you see something else, you may set # this variable to the IMAP path to your folders. # # # set imap_keepalive=900 # # Name: imap_keepalive # Type: number # Default: 900 # # # This variable specifies the maximum amount of time in seconds that mutt # will wait before polling open IMAP connections, to prevent the server # from closing them before mutt has finished with them. The default is # well within the RFC-specified minimum amount of time (30 minutes) before # a server is allowed to do this, but in practice the RFC does get # violated every now and then. Reduce this number if you find yourself # getting disconnected from your IMAP server due to inactivity. # # # set imap_list_subscribed=no # # Name: imap_list_subscribed # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # This variable configures whether IMAP folder browsing will look for # only subscribed folders or all folders. This can be toggled in the # IMAP browser with the toggle-subscribed function. # # # set imap_pass="" # # Name: imap_pass # Type: string # Default: "" # # # Specifies the password for your IMAP account. If unset, Mutt will # prompt you for your password when you invoke the fetch-mail function. # Warning: you should only use this option when you are on a # fairly secure machine, because the superuser can read your muttrc even # if you are the only one who can read the file. # # # set imap_passive=yes # # Name: imap_passive # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When set, mutt will not open new IMAP connections to check for new # mail. Mutt will only check for new mail over existing IMAP # connections. This is useful if you don't want to be prompted to # user/password pairs on mutt invocation, or if opening the connection # is slow. # # # set imap_peek=yes # # Name: imap_peek # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # If set, mutt will avoid implicitly marking your mail as read whenever # you fetch a message from the server. This is generally a good thing, # but can make closing an IMAP folder somewhat slower. This option # exists to appease speed freaks. # # # set imap_servernoise=yes # # Name: imap_servernoise # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When set, mutt will display warning messages from the IMAP # server as error messages.

If this option # is unset, no processing will be applied to the message when # printing it. The latter setting may be useful if you are using # some advanced printer filter which is able to properly format # e-mail messages for printing. # # # set print_split=no # # Name: print_split # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # Used in connection with the print-message command. If this option # is set, the command sepcified by $print_command is executed once for # each message which is to be printed. If this option is unset, # the command specified by $print_command is executed only once, and # all the messages are concatenated, with a form feed as the message # separator. # # Those who use the enscript(1) program's mail-printing mode will # most likely want to set this option. # # # set prompt_after=yes # # Name: prompt_after # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # If you use an external ``$pager'', setting this variable will # cause Mutt to prompt you for a command when the pager exits rather # than returning to the index menu. If unset, Mutt will return to the # index menu when the external pager exits. # # # set query_command="" # # Name: query_command # Type: path # Default: "" # # # This specifies the command that mutt will use to make external address # queries. The string should contain a %s, which will be substituted # with the query string the user types. See ``query'' for more # information. # # # set quit=yes # # Name: quit # Type: quadoption # Default: yes # # # This variable controls whether ``quit'' and ``exit'' actually quit # from mutt. If it set to yes, they do quit, if it is set to no, they # have no effect, and if it is set to ask-yes or ask-no, you are # prompted for confirmation when you try to quit. # # # set quote_regexp="^([ \t]*[|>:}#])+" # # Name: quote_regexp # Type: regular expression # Default: "^([ \t]*[|>:}#])+" # # # A regular expression used in the internal-pager to determine quoted # sections of text in the body of a message. # # Note: In order to use the quotedx patterns in the # internal pager, you need to set this to a regular expression that # matches exactly the quote characters at the beginning of quoted # lines. # # # set read_inc=10 # # Name: read_inc # Type: number # Default: 10 # # # If set to a value greater than 0, Mutt will display which message it # is currently on when reading a mailbox. The message is printed after # read_inc messages have been read (e.g., if set to 25, Mutt will # print a message when it reads message 25, and then again when it gets # to message 50). This variable is meant to indicate progress when # reading large mailboxes which may take some time. # When set to 0, only a single message will appear before the reading # the mailbox. # # Also see the ``$write_inc'' variable. # # # set read_only=no # # Name: read_only # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # If set, all folders are opened in read-only mode. # # set realname="Ashwin K Iyengar" # # Name: realname # Type: string # Default: "" # # # This variable specifies what "real" or "personal" name should be used # when sending messages. # # By default, this is the GCOS field from /etc/passwd. Note that this # variable will not be used when the user has set a real name # in the $from variable. # # set recall=ask-yes # # Name: recall # Type: quadoption # Default: ask-yes # # # Controls whether or not you are prompted to recall postponed messages # when composing a new message. Also see ``$postponed''. # # Setting this variable to ``yes'' is not generally useful, and thus not # recommended. # # # set record="" # # Name: record # Type: path # Default: "" # # # This specifies the file into which your outgoing messages should be # appended. (This is meant as the primary method for saving a copy of # your messages, but another way to do this is using the ``my_hdr'' # command to create a Bcc: field with your email address in it.) # # The value of $record is overridden by the ``$force_name'' and # ``$save_name'' variables, and the ``fcc-hook'' command. # # # set reply_regexp="^(re([\\[0-9\\]+])*|aw):[ \t]*" # # Name: reply_regexp # Type: regular expression # Default: "^(re([\\[0-9\\]+])*|aw):[ \t]*" # # # A regular expression used to recognize reply messages when threading # and replying. The default value corresponds to the English "Re:" and # the German "Aw:". # # # set reply_self=no # # Name: reply_self # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # If unset and you are replying to a message sent by you, Mutt will # assume that you want to reply to the recipients of that message rather # than to yourself. # # # set reply_to=ask-yes # # Name: reply_to # Type: quadoption # Default: ask-yes # # # If set, Mutt will ask you if you want to use the address listed in the # Reply-To: header field when replying to a message. If you answer no, # it will use the address in the From: header field instead. This # option is useful for reading a mailing list that sets the Reply-To: # header field to the list address and you want to send a private # message to the author of a message. # # # set resolve=yes # # Name: resolve # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When set, the cursor will be automatically advanced to the next # (possibly undeleted) message whenever a command that modifies the # current message is executed. # # # set reverse_alias=no # # Name: reverse_alias # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # This variable controls whether or not Mutt will display the "personal" # name from your aliases in the index menu if it finds an alias that # matches the message's sender. For example, if you have the following # alias: # # alias juser abd30425@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (Joe User) # # and then you receive mail which contains the following header: # # From: abd30425@xxxxxxxxxxxxx # # It would be displayed in the index menu as ``Joe User'' instead of # ``abd30425@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx'' This is useful when the person's e-mail # address is not human friendly (like CompuServe addresses). # # # set reverse_name=no # # Name: reverse_name # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # It may sometimes arrive that you receive mail to a certain machine, # move the messages to another machine, and reply to some the messages # from there. If this variable is set, the default From: line of # the reply messages is built using the address where you received the # messages you are replying to. If the variable is unset, the # From: line will use your address on the current machine. # # # set reverse_realname=yes # # Name: reverse_realname # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # This variable fine-tunes the behaviour of the reverse_name feature. # When it is set, mutt will use the address from incoming messages as-is, # possibly including eventual real names. When it is unset, mutt will # override any such realnames with the setting of the realname variable. # # # set rfc2047_parameters=no # # Name: rfc2047_parameters # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When this variable is set, Mutt will decode RFC-2047-encoded MIME # parameters. You want to set this variable when mutt suggests you # to save attachments to files named like this: # =?iso-8859-1?Q?file=5F=E4=5F991116=2Ezip?= # # When this variable is set interactively, the change doesn't have # the desired effect before you have changed folders. # # Note that this use of RFC 2047's encoding is explicitly, # prohibited by the standard, but nevertheless encountered in the # wild. # Also note that setting this parameter will not have the effect # that mutt generates this kind of encoding. Instead, mutt will # unconditionally use the encoding specified in RFC 2231. # # # set save_address=no # # Name: save_address # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # If set, mutt will take the sender's full address when choosing a # default folder for saving a mail. If ``$save_name'' or ``$force_name'' # is set too, the selection of the fcc folder will be changed as well. # # # set save_empty=yes # # Name: save_empty # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When unset, mailboxes which contain no saved messages will be removed # when closed (the exception is ``$spoolfile'' which is never removed). # If set, mailboxes are never removed. # # Note: This only applies to mbox and MMDF folders, Mutt does not # delete MH and Maildir directories. # # # set save_name=no # # Name: save_name # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # This variable controls how copies of outgoing messages are saved. # When set, a check is made to see if a mailbox specified by the # recipient address exists (this is done by searching for a mailbox in # the ``$folder'' directory with the username part of the # recipient address). If the mailbox exists, the outgoing message will # be saved to that mailbox, otherwise the message is saved to the # ``$record'' mailbox. # # Also see the ``$force_name'' variable. # # # set score=yes # # Name: score # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When this variable is unset, scoring is turned off. This can # be useful to selectively disable scoring for certain folders when the # ``$score_threshold_delete'' variable and friends are used. # # # set score_threshold_delete=-1 # # Name: score_threshold_delete # Type: number # Default: -1 # # # Messages which have been assigned a score equal to or lower than the value # of this variable are automatically marked for deletion by mutt. Since # mutt scores are always greater than or equal to zero, the default setting # of this variable will never mark a message for deletion. # # # set score_threshold_flag=9999 # # Name: score_threshold_flag # Type: number # Default: 9999 # # # Messages wich have been assigned a score greater than or equal to this # variable's value are automatically marked "flagged". # # # set score_threshold_read=-1 # # Name: score_threshold_read # Type: number # Default: -1 # # # Messages which have been assigned a score equal to or lower than the value # of this variable are automatically marked as read by mutt. Since # mutt scores are always greater than or equal to zero, the default setting # of this variable will never mark a message read. # # # set send_charset="us-ascii:iso-8859-1:utf-8" # # Name: send_charset # Type: string # Default: "us-ascii:iso-8859-1:utf-8" # # # A list of character sets for outgoing messages. Mutt will use the # first character set into which the text can be converted exactly. # If your ``$charset'' is not iso-8859-1 and recipients may not # understand UTF-8, it is advisable to include in the list an # appropriate widely used standard character set (such as # iso-8859-2, koi8-r or iso-2022-jp) either instead of or after # "iso-8859-1". # # # set sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi" # # Name: sendmail # Type: path # Default: "/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi" # # # Specifies the program and arguments used to deliver mail sent by Mutt. # Mutt expects that the specified program interprets additional # arguments as recipient addresses. # # # set sendmail_wait=0 # # Name: sendmail_wait # Type: number # Default: 0 # # # Specifies the number of seconds to wait for the ``$sendmail'' process # to finish before giving up and putting delivery in the background. # # Mutt interprets the value of this variable as follows: # >0 number of seconds to wait for sendmail to finish before continuing # 0 wait forever for sendmail to finish # <0 always put sendmail in the background without waiting # # # Note that if you specify a value other than 0, the output of the child # process will be put in a temporary file. If there is some error, you # will be informed as to where to find the output. # # # set shell="" # # Name: shell # Type: path # Default: "" # # # Command to use when spawning a subshell. By default, the user's login # shell from /etc/passwd is used. # # # set sig_dashes=yes # # Name: sig_dashes # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # If set, a line containing ``-- '' will be inserted before your # ``$signature''. It is strongly recommended that you not unset # this variable unless your ``signature'' contains just your name. The # reason for this is because many software packages use ``-- \n'' to # detect your signature. For example, Mutt has the ability to highlight # the signature in a different color in the builtin pager. # # # set sig_on_top=no # # Name: sig_on_top # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # If set, the signature will be included before any quoted or forwarded # text. It is strongly recommended that you do not set this variable # unless you really know what you are doing, and are prepared to take # some heat from netiquette guardians. # # # set signature="~/.signature" # # Name: signature # Type: path # Default: "~/.signature" # # # Specifies the filename of your signature, which is appended to all # outgoing messages. If the filename ends with a pipe (``|''), it is # assumed that filename is a shell command and input should be read from # its stdout. # # # set simple_search="~f %s | ~s %s" # # Name: simple_search # Type: string # Default: "~f %s | ~s %s" # # # Specifies how Mutt should expand a simple search into a real search # pattern. A simple search is one that does not contain any of the ~ # operators. See ``patterns'' for more information on search patterns. # # For example, if you simply type joe at a search or limit prompt, Mutt # will automatically expand it to the value specified by this variable. # For the default value it would be: # # ~f joe | ~s joe # # # set smart_wrap=yes # # Name: smart_wrap # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # Controls the display of lines longer then the screen width in the # internal pager. If set, long lines are wrapped at a word boundary. If # unset, lines are simply wrapped at the screen edge. Also see the # ``$markers'' variable. # # # set smileys="(>From )|(:[-^]?[][)(><}{|/DP])" # # Name: smileys # Type: regular expression # Default: "(>From )|(:[-^]?[][)(><}{|/DP])" # # # The pager uses this variable to catch some common false # positives of ``$quote_regexp'', most notably smileys in the beginning # of a line # # # set sleep_time=1 # # Name: sleep_time # Type: number # Default: 1 # # # Specifies time, in seconds, to pause while displaying certain informational # messages, while moving from folder to folder and after expunging # messages from the current folder. The default is to pause one second, so # a value of zero for this option suppresses the pause. # # # set sort=date # # Name: sort # Type: sort order # Default: date # # # Specifies how to sort messages in the index menu. Valid values # are: # # date or date-sent # date-received # from # mailbox-order (unsorted) # score # size # subject # threads # to # # You may optionally use the reverse- prefix to specify reverse sorting # order (example: set sort=reverse-date-sent). # # # set sort_alias=alias # # Name: sort_alias # Type: sort order # Default: alias # # # Specifies how the entries in the `alias' menu are sorted. The # following are legal values: # # address (sort alphabetically by email address) # alias (sort alphabetically by alias name) # unsorted (leave in order specified in .muttrc) # # # set sort_aux=date # # Name: sort_aux # Type: sort order # Default: date # # # When sorting by threads, this variable controls how threads are sorted # in relation to other threads, and how the branches of the thread trees # are sorted. This can be set to any value that ``$sort'' can, except # threads (in that case, mutt will just use date-sent). You can also # specify the last- prefix in addition to the reverse- prefix, but last- # must come after reverse-. The last- prefix causes messages to be # sorted against its siblings by which has the last descendant, using # the rest of sort_aux as an ordering. For instance, set sort_aux=last- # date-received would mean that if a new message is received in a # thread, that thread becomes the last one displayed (or the first, if # you have set sort=reverse-threads.) Note: For reversed ``$sort'' # order $sort_aux is reversed again (which is not the right thing to do, # but kept to not break any existing configuration setting). # # # set sort_browser=subject # # Name: sort_browser # Type: sort order # Default: subject # # # Specifies how to sort entries in the file browser. By default, the # entries are sorted alphabetically. Valid values: # # alpha (alphabetically) # date # size # unsorted # # You may optionally use the reverse- prefix to specify reverse sorting # order (example: set sort_browser=reverse-date). # # # set sort_re=yes # # Name: sort_re # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # This variable is only useful when sorting by threads with # ``$strict_threads'' unset. In that case, it changes the heuristic # mutt uses to thread messages by subject. With sort_re set, mutt will # only attach a message as the child of another message by subject if # the subject of the child message starts with a substring matching the # setting of ``$reply_regexp''. With sort_re unset, mutt will attach # the message whether or not this is the case, as long as the # non-``$reply_regexp'' parts of both messages are identical. # # # set spoolfile="" # # Name: spoolfile # Type: path # Default: "" # # # If your spool mailbox is in a non-default place where Mutt cannot find # it, you can specify its location with this variable. Mutt will # automatically set this variable to the value of the environment # variable $MAIL if it is not set. # # # set status_chars="-*%A" # # Name: status_chars # Type: string # Default: "-*%A" # # # Controls the characters used by the "%r" indicator in # ``$status_format''. The first character is used when the mailbox is # unchanged. The second is used when the mailbox has been changed, and # it needs to be resynchronized. The third is used if the mailbox is in # read-only mode, or if the mailbox will not be written when exiting # that mailbox (You can toggle whether to write changes to a mailbox # with the toggle-write operation, bound by default to "%"). The fourth # is used to indicate that the current folder has been opened in attach- # message mode (Certain operations like composing a new mail, replying, # forwarding, etc. are not permitted in this mode). # # # set status_format="-%r-Mutt: %f [Msgs:%?M?%M/?%m%?n? New:%n?%?o? Old:%o?%?d? Del:%d?%?F? Flag:%F?%?t? Tag:%t?%?p? Post:%p?%?b? Inc:%b?%?l? %l?]---(%s/%S)-%>-(%P)---" # # Name: status_format # Type: string # Default: "-%r-Mutt: %f [Msgs:%?M?%M/?%m%?n?

This string is similar to ``$index_format'', but has its own # set of printf()-like sequences: # # %b number of mailboxes with new mail * # %d number of deleted messages * # %h local hostname # %f the full pathname of the current mailbox # %F number of flagged messages * # %l size (in bytes) of the current mailbox * # %L size (in bytes) of the messages shown # (i.e., which match the current limit) * # %m the number of messages in the mailbox * # %M the number of messages shown (i.e., which match the current limit) * # %n number of new messages in the mailbox * # %o number of old unread messages # %p number of postponed messages * # %P percentage of the way through the index # %r modified/read-only/won't-write/attach-message indicator, # according to $status_chars # %s current sorting mode ($sort) # %S current aux sorting method ($sort_aux) # %t number of tagged messages * # %u number of unread messages * # %v Mutt version string # %V currently active limit pattern, if any * # %>X right justify the rest of the string and pad with "X" # %|X pad to the end of the line with "X" # # # * = can be optionally printed if nonzero # # Some of the above sequences can be used to optionally print a string # if their value is nonzero. For example, you may only want to see the # number of flagged messages if such messages exist, since zero is not # particularly meaningful. To optionally print a string based upon one # of the above sequences, the following construct is used # # %?<sequence_char>?<optional_string>? # # where sequence_char is a character from the table above, and # optional_string is the string you would like printed if # status_char is nonzero. optional_string may contain # other sequence as well as normal text, but you may not nest # optional strings. # # Here is an example illustrating how to optionally print the number of # new messages in a mailbox: # %?n?%n new messages.? # # Additionally you can switch between two strings, the first one, if a # value is zero, the second one, if the value is nonzero, by using the # following construct: # %?<sequence_char>?<if_string>&<else_string>? # # You can additionally force the result of any printf-like sequence to # be lowercase by prefixing the sequence character with an underscore # (_) sign. For example, if you want to display the local hostname in # lowercase, you would use: # %_h # # # set status_on_top=no # # Name: status_on_top # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # Setting this variable causes the ``status bar'' to be displayed on # the first line of the screen rather than near the bottom. # # # set strict_threads=no # # Name: strict_threads # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # If set, threading will only make use of the ``In-Reply-To'' and # ``References'' fields when you ``$sort'' by message threads. By # default, messages with the same subject are grouped together in # ``pseudo threads.'' This may not always be desirable, such as in a # personal mailbox where you might have several unrelated messages with # the subject ``hi'' which will get grouped together. # # # set suspend=yes # # Name: suspend # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When unset, mutt won't stop when the user presses the terminal's # susp key, usually ``control-Z''. This is useful if you run mutt # inside an xterm using a command like xterm -e mutt. # # # set text_flowed=no # # Name: text_flowed # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When set, mutt will generate text/plain; format=flowed attachments. # This format is easier to handle for some mailing software, and generally # just looks like ordinary text. To actually make use of this format's # features, you'll need support in your editor. # # Note that $indent_string is ignored when this option is set. # # # set thread_received=no # # Name: thread_received # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When set, mutt uses the date received rather than the date sent # to thread messages by subject. # # # set thorough_search=no # # Name: thorough_search # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # Affects the ~b and ~h search operations described in # section ``patterns'' above. If set, the headers and attachments of # messages to be searched are decoded before searching. If unset, # messages are searched as they appear in the folder. # # # set tilde=no # # Name: tilde # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # When set, the internal-pager will pad blank lines to the bottom of the # screen with a tilde (~). # # # set timeout=600 # # Name: timeout # Type: number # Default: 600 # # # This variable controls the number of seconds Mutt will wait for # a key to be pressed in the main menu before timing out and checking # for new mail. A value of zero or less will cause Mutt not to ever # time out. # # # set tmpdir="" # # Name: tmpdir # Type: path # Default: "" # # # This variable allows you to specify where Mutt will place its # temporary files needed for displaying and composing messages. # # # set to_chars=" +TCFL" # # Name: to_chars # Type: string # Default: " +TCFL" # # # Controls the character used to indicate mail addressed to you. The # first character is the one used when the mail is NOT addressed to your # address (default: space). The second is used when you are the only # recipient of the message (default: +). The third is when your address # appears in the TO header field, but you are not the only recipient of # the message (default: T). The fourth character is used when your # address is specified in the CC header field, but you are not the only # recipient. The fifth character is used to indicate mail that was sent # by you. The sixth character is used to indicate when a mail # was sent to a mailing-list you subscribe to (default: L). # # # set tunnel="" # # Name: tunnel # Type: string # Default: "" # # # Setting this variable will cause mutt to open a pipe to a command # instead of a raw socket. You may be able to use this to set up # preauthenticated connections to your IMAP/POP3 server. Example: # # tunnel="ssh -q mailhost.net /usr/local/libexec/imapd" # # NOTE: For this example to work you must be able to log in to the remote # machine without having to enter a password. # # # set use_8bitmime=no # # Name: use_8bitmime # Type: boolean # Default: no # # # Warning: do not set this variable unless you are using a version # of sendmail which supports the -B8BITMIME flag (such as sendmail # 8.8.x) or you may not be able to send mail. # # When set, Mutt will invoke ``$sendmail'' with the -B8BITMIME # flag when sending 8-bit messages to enable ESMTP negotiation. # # # set use_domain=yes # # Name: use_domain # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When set, Mutt will qualify all local addresses (ones without the # @host portion) with the value of ``$hostname''. If unset, no # addresses will be qualified. # # # set use_from=yes # # Name: use_from # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When set, Mutt will generate the `From:' header field when # sending messages. If unset, no `From:' header field will be # generated unless the user explicitly sets one using the ``my_hdr'' # command. # # # set use_ipv6=yes # # Name: use_ipv6 # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When set, Mutt will look for IPv6 addresses of hosts it tries to # contact. If this option is unset, Mutt will restrict itself to IPv4 addresses. # Normally, the default should work. # # # set user_agent=yes # # Name: user_agent # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When set, mutt will add a "User-Agent" header to outgoing # messages, indicating which version of mutt was used for composing # them. # # # set visual="" # # Name: visual # Type: path # Default: "" # # # Specifies the visual editor to invoke when the ~v command is # given in the builtin editor. # # # set wait_key=yes # # Name: wait_key # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # Controls whether Mutt will ask you to press a key after shell- # escape, pipe-message, pipe-entry, print-message, # and print-entry commands. # # It is also used when viewing attachments with ``auto_view'', provided # that the corresponding mailcap entry has a needsterminal flag, # and the external program is interactive. # # When set, Mutt will always ask for a key. When unset, Mutt will wait # for a key only if the external command returned a non-zero status. # # # set weed=yes # # Name: weed # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # When set, mutt will weed headers when when displaying, forwarding, # printing, or replying to messages. # # # set wrap_search=yes # # Name: wrap_search # Type: boolean # Default: yes # # # Controls whether searches wrap around the end of the mailbox. # # When set, searches will wrap around the first (or last) message.
