No, Gmail no longer allows Mutt to be used for it. Google considers it
to be a "less secure app." Hence, they do not allow Mutt to be used
with it. I have tried and have failed since Google made that change to
Gmail.

No, mutt can use Gmail because mutt has Oauth support built in. It's a
bit complicated but you can search for instructions. That's the
preferred way to use mutt with Gmail as the other method "app specific
passwords" will eventually be phased out.
Please do not write me again, write to the email list.
Your questions will help many but only if they're sent to the email list.
Thank you.

Damn, I never thought getting help configuring Mutt for my AOL
email account would be such a big hassle. I used to use mutt for
my Gmail accounts, but Google, as you know, stopped allowing Gmail
to be used with Mutt. Configuring Mutt to be used with my Gmail
accounts was as easy as modifying my .muttrc file, nothing else.
Why can't someone just tell me what changes I need to make to my
.muttrc file in order to use my AOL email account with Mutt!? I
copy & pasted the contents of my .muttrc file to this email group,
didn't I? Shouldn't it be as easy as telling me what changes I
need to make to my .muttrc file, just like I did with my Gmail
accounts? Instead, I get a whole bunch of hassle from everyone.
Leave it human beings to make things more complicated than they
should be!!! Damn!!! You know, the less I have humans involved
with my life, the less stress and fewer problems I have.

Yes, but you didn't tell them what it was and you posted an email
containing our back and forth which will be totally confusing to
them.
I don't think because of that you'll get a response from them,
but they are a very exceptional group, so maybe they will take
the time to figure out what's going on. I personally doubt it.
You could have taken my suggestion but maybe you have more
experience with them.

they are.

Oh, I thought you needed the output that's in the .log

attach that .log file to this email. Sorry about the
misunderstanding.

Unless I'm not mistaken, the command Jude gave you
produces a file. That's what is needed, not the
contents pasted into an email message.
Please send again but send the email to mutt-users@mutt.org
Kind regards,

What we need are the errors.
Use the command that Jude posted, that will tell
us exactly what is wrong.
The muttrc file is not of much use, unless you
want to give us your email password to try mutt
and find out what the problem is.
Best wishes,

I believe Storm Dragon's

Use wget to download this.
Then chmod fleacollar.sh to be
executable and run it and give all
answers, including the password and gpg
questions, it won't make a gpg for your
