Dear Mutt developers, This email is sent here because "mutt -v" suggested this address. I am aware that the unknown variables problem is common, but allow me to explain why I can't seem to fix it based on my ability level.
I am using Mac OS 10.10, and I am having trouble with Mutt. I’ve tried various configurations for .muttrc, so my current variables may reflect bad entires. However, no matter how I try to configure it for gmail, I get something like this when I type mutt on my command line: > Error in /Users/conorcook/.muttrc, line 3: my_tmpsecret: unknown variable > Error in /Users/conorcook/.muttrc, line 4: my_gpass: unknown variable > Error in /Users/conorcook/.muttrc, line 5: my_del: unknown variable > Error in /Users/conorcook/.muttrc, line 7: imap_user: unknown variable > Error in /Users/conorcook/.muttrc, line 8: imap_pass: unknown variable > Error in /Users/conorcook/.muttrc, line 14: smtp_pass: unknown variable > Error in /Users/conorcook/.muttrc, line 15: smtp_url: unknown variable > Error in /Users/conorcook/.muttrc, line 19: header_cache: unknown variable > Error in /Users/conorcook/.muttrc, line 20: message_cachedir: unknown variable > Error in /Users/conorcook/.muttrc, line 21: certificate_file: unknown variable > Error in /Users/conorcook/.muttrc, line 23: brackets ([ ]) not balanced > Error in /Users/conorcook/.muttrc, line 24: ]: unknown command > Error in /Users/conorcook/.muttrc, line 35: imap_check_subscribed: unknown > variable > source: errors in /Users/conorcook/.muttrc > Press any key to continue... Then, it prompts: > imaps://[email protected]:993/ does not exist. Create it? > ([yes]/no) Then, it goes to the mailbox (in terminal, looking like vim or nano or emacs), but it says there is "(no mailbox)." The command "mutt -v" yields: > Mutt 1.4.2.3i (2007-05-26) > Copyright (C) 1996-2002 Michael R.

Unfortunately, nothing I can find online tells me how to change that and the related variables to "+USE_IMAP." I am in my command line infancy, so I have gotten in over my head. Is there anything you can suggest to remedy the issue? Thank you for any help you can offer. Best, Conor Cook
