Calmail mutt

Using mutt with Calmail

mutt is a powerful command line mail client, capable of using IMAP.

These instructions are not intended as a mutt tutorial, but for configuring mutt to use IMAP with Calmail, assuming that you are already a mutt user.

In order to use mutt with Calmail, you'll need to configure some settings in your .muttrc file. Each of the following sections contains commands which should be added to your .muttrc file.

For a complete, working example, take a look at the muttrc file in ~steve/.mutt. ~steve/.mutt/muttrc sources several other files in that directory.
