Using Mutt with MXRoute

#1

Does anybody here use mutt with mxroute accounts? I’ve been trying to configure it up, but I can’t find the magic recipe.

I am. Works like a charm. I’m away from my computer at the moment, so can’t quote my config right now. But what have you tried?
There should be many examples out there of Mutt IMAP setups using 993/SSL … :slight_smile:

Well, you can use mail.yourdomain.tld if you set up CNAME, but I guess you wonder how to get the @ sign as part of the username. Two methods, escape it using backslash, or define it using a variable. Example:

set imap_user = "user@mydomain.tld"
set imap_pass = "mysecret"                                    
set smtp_url  = "smtps://user\@mydomain.tld@server.address.net:465/" 
set smtp_pass = $imap_pass
set folder    = "imaps://server.address.net/INBOX"
set spoolfile = "+INBOX"                                      
set record    = "+Sent"
set postponed = "+Drafts"

INBOX as prefix might differ between servers.
Hope that helps … :slight_smile:

There are indeed a few examples, but they tend to assume that the MTA host is the same as the domain of the mail address, which isn’t the case if your mail is externally hosted…
