NeoMutt

Neomutt is a mail program that runs in your terminal. It can be easily configured using mutt-wizard.

Setup

setup with mutt-wizard

  • Install the dependecies: neomutt, isync, msmtp, pass
  • Install mutt-wizard from github (AUR is not up to date)

After installation you're able to use the commands described on mutt-wizards github page. You need to add the mail accounts you want to have in mutt.

  • mbsync -a - updates all mail-accounts

Googlemail

To use Googlemail or as it is known now Gmail you need to either create an App password or enable third-party applications.

Khard in NeoMutt

  • Edit ~/.config/mutt/muttrc
    • Append the following lines.
set query_command= "khard email --parsable --search-in-source-files %s"
bind editor <Tab> complete-query
bind editor ^T complete
macro index,pager A \
    "<pipe message>khard add-email<return>" \
    "add the sender email address to khard"
  • You should now be able to tab-complete email-addresses in neomutt
  • You can also add new ones by pressing A

  • Edit ~/.config/mutt/muttrc

    • If you installed with mutt-wizard remove or comment out the lines source /usr/local/share/mutt-wizard/mutt-wizard.muttrc # mw-autogenerated
    • Add source ~/.config/mutt/custom.muttrc
    • Create the file ~/.config/mutt/custom.muttrc and insert the lines:
