Hi David,
Before you can create a dir .mutt and then run the command touch
.passwordgmail you can edit this file and write your password inside...
set smtp_pass="YOURPASSWORD"
set imap_pass="YOURPASSWORD"
save your .passwordgmail file
once you have created this file you should encrypt it using gpg...
if you don't know gpg you can do a google search...
later you can create the .muttrc file something similar to this but
there are many other things you can write in the .muttrc file I
recommend reading the man page and the manuall...
# begin file
set from = "YOUR GMAIL ADDRESS"
set realname = "YOUR NAME"
set smtp_url = "smtp://usern...@smtp.gmail.com:587/" # using port 587 for$
set imap_user = "usern...@gmail.com"
set folder = "imaps://imap.gmail.com:993"
set spoolfile = "+INBOX"
set postponed = "+[Gmail]/Drafts"
set record = "+[Gmail]/Sent Mail"
set trash = "+[Gmail]/Trash"
set header_cache =~/.mutt/cache/headers
set message_cachedir =~/.mutt/cache/bodies
set certificate_file =~/.mutt/certificates
set move = no
set imap_keepalive = 900
# encrypted IMAP/SMTP passwords - YOU CAN USE GPG AND CREATE A FILE WITH
# YOUR PASSWORD EVEN IF YOU USE TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATION
source "gpg -d ~/.mutt/.passwordgmail.gpg |"
