Hello Penguin007,
Just go to google.com and log in.
If you’ve lost your account name, or just want to check to see if you made a google account years ago, enter your regular password here. It doesn’t have to be a google email account, I have a google account for my AOL email address. Go HERE and enter several of your email accounts and/or your cell phone numbers to see if you have an account that you’ve forgotten about. I had one that had the old requirement of six character password it was so old.
If you don’t have a google account, go to this link HERE.
This will allow you to sign up for a google account. For a password, use 8 or more characters with a mix of letters, numbers & symbols.
Then log in and go to gmail.com. It will just ask you if it’s for home or personal - say it’s personal and a gmail account will automatically be signed up.
Here is a template for a muttrc file that you can change that uses mutt’s native IMAP support.
# ~/.mutt/muttrc
set folder = imaps://imap.gmail.com/
#set smtp_url = "smtps://your-gmail-address@gmail.com@smtp.gmail.com:587/"
set smtp_url = "smtps://your-gmail-address@gmail.com@smtp.gmail.com:465/"
set imap_user = your-gmail-address@gmail.com
set imap_pass = your-gmail-password
set smtp_pass = your-gmail-password
set spoolfile = +INBOX
mailboxes = +INBOX
set from = your-gmail-address@gmail.com
set realname = "your-real-name"
# abook
set query_command= "abook --mutt-query '%s'"
macro index,pager a "<pipe-message>abook --add-email-quiet<return>" "Add this sender to Abook"
bind editor <Tab> complete-query
# Store message headers locally to speed things up.
# If hcache is a folder, Mutt will create sub cache folders for each account which may speeds things up even more.
set header_cache = ~/.cache/mutt
# Store messages locally to speed things up, like searching message bodies.
# Can be the same folder as header_cache.
# This will cost important disk usage according to your e-mail amount.
set message_cachedir = "~/.cache/mutt"
# Specify where to save and/or look for postponed messages.
set postponed = +[Gmail]/Drafts
# Allow Mutt to open a new IMAP connection automatically.
unset imap_passive
# Keep the IMAP connection alive by polling intermittently (time in seconds).
set imap_keepalive = 300
# How often to check for new mail (time in seconds).
set mail_check = 120
You will see that for some strange (very strange) reason mutt will not work.
It will work on Antergos, Manjaro, Arch, Slackware and Debian.
I’ve made lists of packages installed but it seems that there is something that the other distros install but for some reason was not installed in EndeavourOS.
I just thought of a possible work around: force reinstalling core.
I’ve installed EndeavourOS twice to prove to myself it didn’t work, I’ve installed Manjaro and mutt works perfectly, and I had been running Antergos and mutt works perfectly.
Unfortunately for me, it is just giving a log in error - but it’s not a log in problem, everything is correct (otherwise it would not work with the same /home folder for the other distros.
If you give me a task I’ll gladly do it.
The best thing would be to have a script that can take a package list and install it, I have one but it includes AUR packages too and it’s a lot of work to uninstall those AUR packages over and over again.
I’ll keep on working with this, I’m sure it doesn’t work but I don’t know why.
Regards,
