[TriLUG] Documentation on mutt and IMAP

[Dan Monjar]

I use it to access my work mail from home.... I got the Mutt source, 
configured --with-imap and --with-ssl and then added these lines to my 
.muttrc:

	set certificate_file = "~/.mutt/certs"
	set imap_user = "user"
	set imap_pass = "password"
	macro index ",d" "c imaps://xxxx.myimapserver.com/INBOX\n"

So, I fireup Mutt... hit ',' then 'd' and I am logged into my IMAP inbox 
over a TLS/SSL connection.  The first time Mutt will ask you what to do 
with the cert...

Of course, use your real username and password.  The ',d' shortcut isn't 
necessary but it is an ugly line to have to remember.  This is using the 
latest 'i' version of Mutt, BTW.
