Mutt is a mail client , that you can configure easier in Linux , i will start with explaining the installation and the configuration of the tool , and some example to send a simple email :
- sudo apt-get update #It's always a good idea to update your sources list before you start with installing any thing new .
- sudo apt-get install mutt #This command will install the client for you .
- cd #This will take you to your home dir , and there you will find a dir called .mutt
- cd .mutt
- vi muttrc # Edit the file like the below example :
Ex :
hdr_order Date From To Cc
ignore "Authentication-Results:"
ignore "DKIM-Signature:"
ignore "DomainKey-Signature:"
set certificate_file="~/.mutt/certificates"
set editor='nano'
set folder=imaps://imap.gmail.com:993
set from="YourEmail@gmail.com"
set header_cache="~/.mutt/cache/headers"
