# mutt
``mutt`` is a highly configurable TUI email client.
`neomutt` is a fork with several additions.

See http://mutt.postle.net/ to get started.


# Hotkeys
vi-like keybindings adapted from mutt-wizard



`za` toggle fold current thread
`zA` toggle fold all threads

Select multiple emails with `space` move them with `;s`. `;` means do next action for all tagged mails.

`Shift-s` fetch mails via mbsync (all)


# Config
I keep a general configuration in `~/.config/mutt/muttrc` and account specific settings in `~/.config/mutt/accounts/`
Configuration is adapted from mutt-wizard, see https://muttwizard.com/
The muttrc is stowed from the dotfiles repo, while the account configs are kept local. A template account config is kept in the dotfiles repo for ease of use.


# Secret management
If using a secret-service compatible secret keeper, run `secret-tool store --label=msmtp host posteo.de service smtp user username@domain.org` to make your email password available to mutt (if configured), msmtp and the like.
A more reliable way is to store the password encrypted via GPG, and decrypt it with `gpg2 -q --for-your-eyes-only --no-tty -d ~/.ssh/mailpass.gpg`


# IMAP
mutt is usually built with native IMAP support.

## isync
You may want to download emails while using IMAP for convenience while offline and for archival. `isync` can accomplish this.
See the arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/isync and https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Mutt#Native_IMAP_support on how to do this.
IMAP IDLE support is also possible via goimapnotify, see the arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Isync#With_imapnotify

Currently, the user unit `mbsync.service` is called on boot to fetch new emails from the server. `mbsync.timer` calls it regularly (every 15 minutes).

# SMTP

## Native
You can use mutt's built-in SMTP support with Posteo via the following config:

```sh
set record = +Sent
set realname = 'Change Me'
set from = username@domain.org

set smtp_pass = $imap_pass
set smtp_url = smtps://$imap_user@posteo.de
set ssl_force_tls = yes
set smtp_authenticators = "login"
```

## msmtp
Alternatively, you can use msmtp with the following config:

```sh
account eduml@posteo.net
host posteo.de
port 465
tls on
tls_starttls off
auth on
user username@domain.org
from stillme@domain.org
```


# Folders
To change between synced IMAP folders, press ``c`` then enter the name, or press ``?`` for a list. Press ``c`` and enter ``=`` to get back to the root folder (usually the INBOX)
