Can I ask what Mutt you're using? Here I'm using the Mutt 1.5.20 that ships with Debian Squeeze. With that, I'm able to speak to Exchange via IMAP and SMTP directly, without requiring fetchmail (ew) or msmtp (nice, but no longer necessary.) The config's relatively straightforward... Replace the things in brackets with your information, and of course don't include the brackets. set imap_keepalive=15 set imap_passive=no set mail_check=15 set smtp_authenticators="login" set ssl_use_sslv3=yes set timeout=15 set imap_user=[your-short-username] set imap_pass=[your-password] set smtp_url="smtp://[your-user-name]@[your-mail-server]:587/" set smtp_pass=[your-password] set folder=imap://[your-email-server]/ set mbox=imap://[your-email-server]/INBOX set postponed=imap://[your-email-server]/Drafts set record="imap://[your-email-server]/Sent Items" set spoolfile=imap://[your-email-server]/INBOX set trash="imap://[your-email-server]/Deleted Items" > I'm new to the mutt maillist and i dont know whether it's proper to deliver > it here, apologize for any disturbance. :) Nah, this is just the right place. Two further notes... If you set biff notifications and have a typo in a mailbox name, you'll likely see a very misleading SSL error. Double-check your mailbox directives. Also, note that you can pretty easily integrate addressbook functionality via an LDAP command. If you get all this working and you're interested in that, write back to the list and I'll describe it for you. -- Mason Loring Bliss <---------> [email protected] Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.
