Re: [TCLUG:7267] IMAP and mutt

[Hans Umhoefer <spudling@acm.cs.umn.edu>]

You can put a line such as the following in you muttrc file

set mbox={server_name}path/to/mailbox

I believe that is the correct syntax. My muttrc file is at home. If you
run mutt with the -y option, it will start with a listing of all the
mailboxes specified in the mbox line. Open it like any other mailbox and
it'll prompt you for your username and password. Mutt has to be compiled
with imap support, otherwise this will not work.

Good luck.
