IMAP facilities are present in mutt version 1.4 and later.
Specifying server
1. In mutt, press 'c' to open a url such as imap://username@mail.server.name
or
2. Edit .muttrc with server info:
| Quote: |
set folder="imaps://username@mail.example.com"
set spoolfile="imaps://username@mail.example.com/INBOX"
|
Caching
| Quote: |
Local IMAP Header Cache
You can use a local file to cache mail headers when using IMAP, so mutt does not need to fetch them everytime you want to e.g. search through the subjects.
* Add the following line to your $HOME/.muttrc:
set header_cache="$HOME/.mutt_header_cache"
The next time you start mutt or reload the configuration file, the configured file will be created with the appropriate rights. For details and more options see the header_cache entry in the mutt manual.
