I have added 2 different Autistici/Inventati accounts using mutt-wizard, but when I go to send an email with either account, the email cannot be sent. Upon pressing the key to send, the bottom of Neomutt says "connecting to smtp.autistici.org..." for about 5 minutes. After this, it says "SMTP session failed: read error". I added a cock.li email using the wizard, and was able to start sending email without any other config.

There is 1 workaround that I know of, which is to comment out the "set smtp_url" line in the account's muttrc file, and then create a ~/.msmtprc file containing something like this:

account myemail
port 587
from [email protected]
user [email protected]
password [password in plain text]
auth on
tls on
tls_starttls on
tls_trust_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
host smtp.autistici.org
tls_certcheck on

This is not an ideal solution, since now I have my password in plain text, and my account information is being maintained in another file not controlled by mutt-wizard.

Some other things I tried individually include:

• in the "set smtp_url" line of the account's muttrc, change the port number from 465 to 587. This causes me to immediately get a 'SASL authentication failed' when sending.

• In the "set sendmail" line of the account's .muttrc, I tried adding the following on the end of the command to match what I have above in the msmtprc: "--tls=on --tls-starttls=on --tls-trust-file=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt --tls-certcheck=on". After adding this, I get the same result where it keeps saying it's connecting for 5 mins.

I know this isn't really a fault of the wizard, but any advice on how I can resolve this in a way that will pull my password from the keyring like everything else?

I tried generating gpg key with gnupg(I am on manjaro linux).
Generated the key but don't really know what to put in the textbox.

Hi luke

First off; I'm a big fan of your work. I convincing other colleagues to also use mutt in addition to your wizard. Most of the sysadmin are Linux or Mac users and are eager to try your wizard out.

Anyways I recently changed my password to something containing $ characters. Since the change I was no longer able to send mail. After some digging I found that getmuttpass uses double quotes to set the password.

When I altered the " to ' in getmuttpass, everything worked fine again. I just wanted to let you know.

Thanks again for the great software.

Hello everyone, just a heads up for those running mutt-wizard on a more bleeding edge distro, or even on a distro that ships the new OpenSSL version 1.1.1 package.

Update openssl to 1.1.1-1 breaks recognition of imap.gmail.com certificate.
Source

The temporary workaround for offlineimap to continue working (for me) was to set ssl_version=tls1_2 on the remote Repository
Source

It's probably a good idea to wait for this to be patched upstream.

Good luck in the meanwhile guys.

When you open up mutt, you apparently use your 1st (default) account. And in that default account mutt correctly displays sizes of your mailboxes on sidebar right away. Therefore, it is capable of capturing those sizes while sourcing account's config.
Now you source your 2nd account. And mutt no longer displays correct sizes, except INBOX. It considers the others to be empty until you literally go to them (gs, gt etc.). Moreover, if you go back to your 1st account, the same thing happens: you have to go to corresponding mailboxes to make sure they're non-empty.

I did not succeed in searching for an option which would make it remember contents of the whole tree after sourcing. Obviously, the needed functionality is hidden under the hood. Maybe you have a better understanding of what's happening?

is it possible to turn of the notification sound without removing mpv or deleting the notify.opus file?

I noticed in the domains.csv file that only SSL is used for imap and STARTTLS for smtp. Are other encryption protocols supported?

Hi, is it possible to release mutt-wizard under a free software license?

Behavior: program just stops at the last step. Can't even terminate it with ctrl+c.

It seems that the program gets stuck at detectMailboxes(), because there are user subfolders in account/ and ~/.mail. But apparently, at least in my case, for non-gmail accounts, the offlineimap command from the last function couldn't find any boxes. Maybe that's why it can't get through detecMailboxes().

Not exactly sure what's happening here. This is what happens when I open mutt
Error: impossible to build path of 'etc/aliases'.
Error in /home/user/.config/mutt/muttrc, line 8:

the default configuration from neomutt will not work if you try to use mutt-wizard to connect to Davmail.
Davmail can be used to provide local IMAP and SMTP while beeing connected to a Microsoft Exchange Server.
Thereof it is possible to connect to a recent Microsoft Exchange using neomutt.
This is the setup to get offlineimap sync emails from our exchange server using Davmail.
Most important is to set remoteport entry which must be identical in Davmail.

[general]
ui = ttyui
starttls = no
ssl = no
accounts = workmail

[Account workmail]
localrepository = workmail-Local
remoterepository = workmail-Remote

[Repository workmail-Local]
type = Maildir
localfolders = ~/Mail/workmail

[Repository workmail-Remote]
type = IMAP
remotehost = localhost
remoteuser = <USERNAME>
remotepass = <PASSWORD>
remoteport = 1143
realdelete = no
ssl = no
sslcacertfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

maybe this helps to make mutt-wizard smarter, when running Davmail?
If you run the current version of the installer, you will not get a working config as SSL is enabled and the remoteport is not set correctly.

Is there a way to re-scan mailboxes? Am just wondering because some folders from my gmail account are not showing (sent mail, all mail, drafts) I have a mail box labelled [Google] but when i try to open it i get the error msg thats its not a mailbox

The imap protocol use imap-4-utf-7 encoding but offline imap don't decode this to utf-8.
So folders with special charters look like this: '[Gmail].Messages envoy&AOk-s'

You need to add script like this: https://gist.github.com/declanqian/2e5169660b5a888639ea
in .offlineimaprc pythonfile.

Have fun Mr Smith

Hi,
I finished configuring two accounts with the awesome script.
When I start offlineimap to sync the directories, I'm asked to enter the account passwords again, for both the 1und1-account and the GMail-account.

What am I doing wrong? Or is this intended?

gpg2 is installed, a key pair was created before.

`OfflineIMAP 7.1.2
Licensed under the GNU GPL v2 or any later version (with an OpenSSL exception)

Account sync xxxxxx:
*** Processing account xxxxxx
Establishing connection to imap.1und1.de:993 (xxxxxx-remote)
Enter password for account 'xxxxxx-remote':`

I'm trying to setup mutt with this, however when adding an account .offlineimaprc, and .msmtprc config files are beeing created but empty.
I had both msmstp and offlinimap setup before but moved .offlineimaprc, .offlineimap/ and .msmtprc out of the way so it would'nt interfere. Is there anything else I must (re)move to make this work?

After running the wizard for the first time, setting up an email account (called daxmoe in this case), and running offlineimap, I'm getting an error within neomutt.

When I launch it, there are no emails to show, and it says "/home/dax/.mail/daxmoe is not a mailbox." at the bottom.

Let me know what other information you need.

mailsync.sh will stop with an error on line 14. Presumably because it is a bash specific syntax. I fixed it with changing the head to "#!/bin/bash".

I've tried to send email via a cock.li email account, although it doesn't seem to actually send an email, it rather just gives me a "Interrupted system call" after 30 seconds of silence. I did make sure that I had msmtp installed.

After using the wizard to configure mutt with a Gmail account, the <Gmail alias>.muttrc file created in ~/.config/mutt/accounts contains incorrect mailbox names which throw errors when sending mail or changing mailboxes.

Default names don't work but editing the mailbox name in the mappings of ~/.config/mutt/accounts/<Gmail alias>.muttrc creates new mailboxes which work in mutt.

In my "account-name".muttrc file was the following line:
set spoolfile = "+INBOX"
Somehow mutt is here case sensitive but changing it to
set spoolfile = "+Inbox"
resolved the issue.
(this only happened for my ymail account)

Interestingly enough for my other account it has to be all caps..

I have tried to the installation of the wizard multiple times and it always get this error:

Computer: MacBook Pro 13-inch, 2017
I have installed all the depencies.

My GPG installation is located at: /usr/local/bin/gpg

I tried to created soft link by doing sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/gpg /usr/bin/gpg but I got "Operation not permitted". This seem to be a Mac issue - Cannot create a symlink inside of /usr/bin even as sudo

Whenever I tried to open Mutt, I get this error ~/.mbox: No such file or directory (errno = 2)

Have anyone run into this issue before?

Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks for creating mutt-wizard!

So i remember on the previous commit, The setup is asking about Gmail SMTP Server name and Gmail SMTP Port.

Then after this current version release, The setup doesn't ask you to manually add the SMTP Server name/Port thing, And so the email refusing to send because of the SASL Auth. So i search around the Internet and finally found the fix.

So incase you have this problem too, just add these line to get it work.

 set imap_user = "[email protected]"
 set imap_pass = "YourPassword"
 set smtp_url = "smtp://[email protected]:587/"
 set smtp_pass = "YourPassword"
 set from = "[email protected]"
 set realname = "John Doe"

pls consider implementing these feature:

Ctrl-R to mark all as read
macro index \Cr "T~U<enter><tag-prefix><clear-flag>N<untag-pattern>.<enter>" "mark all messages as read"

sync email
macro index O "<shell-escape>offlineimap<enter>" "run offlineimap to sync all mail"
macro index o "<shell-escape>offlineimap -qf INBOX<enter>" "run offlineimap to sync inbox"

copy/move dialogs
macro index C "<copy-message>?<toggle-mailboxes>" "copy a message to a mailbox"
macro index M "<save-message>?<toggle-mailboxes>" "move a message to a mailbox"i

might also be interesting : Viewing HTML https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mutt#Viewing_HTML and setting up mailcap (both have been implemented in my configs and work great!)

As mutt-wizard is targeted towards newbie users, you might want to add notmuch to the setup/configuration process or at least mentioned it:
https://notmuchmail.org
If notmuch is installed you only need to do the following steps to get a fast email search on your commandline:

notmuch setup && notmuch new

As mutt-wizard is targeted towards new customers the README should mention all packages/applications which are configured in a default installation.
Example: ../etc/mailcap

(...)
text/html; w3m -I %{charset} -T text/html; copiousoutput;
(...)

Thereof w3m should be installed.
Same for mupdf etc.

i1-13 works fine but i4-i7 doesn't work for me. I have 7 accounts set up in neomutt using the wizard.
Tried looking in configs but didn't find anything useful. And the keys are also defined in .personal.muttrc.

I just successfully added one of my accounts using the wizard, but I noticed that when I attempt to send an email, it tries to make the temp file for the email, and I get a permission denied error, leaving me unable to continue with typing my message. When I exit neomutt, I see an error like the following:

sh: /tmp/neomutt-(blah): Permission Denied

I know this isn't an issue with the wizard, but any ideas why this happens? I'm so close to hopefully sending my first email with neomutt, and I'm stuck on this :/

I had to do some tweaks to be able to use mutt-wizard and setup offlineimap + neomutt under Qubes OS.
In Qubes OS I'm running SplitGPG which separates the GPG-keys into an own "AppVM".
For further information:

• Qubes OS: https://www.qubes-os.org/intro/
• SplitGPG: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/split-gpg/

I had to do some changes so that mutt-wizard will use qubes-gpg-client instead of the default gpg2.
Additionally I had to create the encrypted password manually after I've added my email-account via mutt-wizard

qubes-gpg-client -a --encrypt -r ~/.config/mutt/credentials/.gpg

is used to identify the GPG-key you would like to use in the Vault-VM (SplitGPG-repository) and is the name you gave the accont in mutt-wizard.

QUESTION:
how should I contribute as the setup is only for users running Qubes OS and I don't want to "damage" the scripts for all other users.
I'm thinking of adding the information to the qubes-docs repository (?) what do you think?

The following changes have been made to get mutt-wizard working under Qubes:

1. replace gpg2 with qubes-gpg-client in mutt-wizard.sh
2. replace gpg2 with qubes-gpg-client in credentials/getmuttpass
3. replace gpg2 with qubes-gpg-client in credentials/imappwd.py

I just tried to create an account using mutt-wizard and encountered some problems with my imap and smtp credentials:

First of all there seems to be noway to enter an user name for a mail account. Instead in .offlineimaprc the email adress is set as remoteuser, which won't work for any of my mail accounts. The smtp url gets created as smtp://$from@:$smtp_port ($from and $smtp_port are entered as the string values, not as variables. I just added them this way to make it more readable) and not as smtp://$smtp_user:$smtp_pass@$smtp_url:$smtp_port. Changing those settings the correct values manually made everything, so the rest seems to work as expected.

I'm trying to get the wizard to set up neomutt but having trouble with a few parts.
I'm using Arch on this computer. I am getting the error "GPG decryption failed." I did install the newest gnupg v2 and in the /usr/bin I have both gpg and gpg2.

What I have tried:
I moved the gpg to another folder and ln -s /usr/bin/gpg2 /usr/bin/gpg and visa versa. I have also tired to change in the three files gpg2 to gpg with no luck.

I think my problem is where at the beginning where it asks to "insert the email address with which you originally created your GPG key pair..." I don't thing that I actually did. If I did then it might not be finding that file to be able to decrypt.

If that is the case, how can I remake that file to beable to get this working properly? Thank you for your time. Loving the Rice btw. Really nice template to add my own customizations. Thank you.

This Error occured when im starting to sync the email offlineimap -a Personal
It was worked before on my AntiX Linux, until i moved out to Arch.

ConfigParser.NoSectionError: No section: 'general'

Short intro -> love arch linux, i3, emacs, cli. Been using mu4e for years but multiple email accounts are pain, don't get emacs 'contexts'. Looked for alternative, found mutt, found your script 'mutt-wizard' gave it a try ... no success. I'm not newbee, but not programmer (hydrogeologist by profession, english is still my primary language, not programmer speak..).

Here is my original .offlineimaprc for this account ( I added line numbers for reference):

1. accounts = frank

2. maxsyncaccounts = 3

3. [Account frank]

4. localrepository = franklocal

5. remoterepository = frankremote

6. [Repository franklocal]

7. type = Maildir

8. localfolders = /mnt/Maildir/BGM/

9. [Repository frankremote]

10. type = IMAP

11. remoteport = 143

12. remotehost = imap.**ndwa.com

13. remoteuser = frank@**ndwa.com

14. remotepass = *****

15. ssl = no

16. maxconnections = 5

17. realdelete = true

18. truedelete = True

19. sslcacertfile = /etc/ssl/certs/180123_**ndwa.com.key

Here is mutt-wizard .offlineimaprc for this account ( I added line numbers for reference):

1. [general]

2. accounts = frank

3. starttls = yes

4. ssl = yes

5. pythonfile = ~/.config/mutt/credentials/imappwd.py

6. [Account frank]

7. localrepository = frank-local

8. remoterepository = frank-remote

9. [Repository frank-remote]

10. type = IMAP

11. remoteuser = frank@**ndwa.com

12. sslcacerfile = /etc/ssl/cets/ca-certificates.crt

13. remotepasseval = mailpasswd("frank")

14. remotehost = imap.**ndwa.com

15. port = 143

16. sslcacertfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

17. [Repository frank-local]

18. type = Maildir

19. localfolders = ~/.mail/frank
    =====================================================
    Here are my questions:

A. Line 15 of your file -> 'port = 143', the port number kept coming up 993 until I found this, I changed this to 'remoteport = 143', -> no success

B. Line 12 of your file -> 'sslcacerfile = /etc/ssl/cets/ca-certificates.crt', I think this is an error as there is no file by that name or directory, I removed it -> no success

C. Line 16 of your file -> ' sslcacertfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt ' , I already have a certfile for this account, so I replaced this with my account (my Line 19 )->
' sslcacertfile = /etc/ssl/certs/180123_**ndwa.com.key ' -> no success

D. changed lines 03 and 04 to -> ' starttls = no ' and ' ssl = no ' -> no success

I get this error on offlineimap:
OfflineIMAP 7.1.5

Thanks, any idea what I am doing wrong??

Hi, I found that deleted mails are not move to Trash but definitively deleted.
I think it will be a good idea to add trash folder handling by adding
set trash = "+Trash"
at the end of the accounts rc files.

Started creating a mailbox with the setup script, called the shortname "..gmail"
OfflineImap synced the mailbox correctly, all directories looked ok.
But starting Neomutt, it fails miserably with ".... is not a mailbox"
I scratched my head for a long time and erased all configuration and run it again with a shortname "mhgmail"... and resynced again , and now it works.

If this is a valid issue, create a check in the setup script checking for a dot in the short and reject it.

Trying to send out email via GMAIL it seems that there is an issue.
When sending emails from neomutt via my GMAIL account I get the error

No authenticators available

The setup of offlineimap via mutt-wizard worked and offlineimap is working. Sending emails isn't.
I have verified all config files and the part which is handling outgoing emails seems to be:

~/.configure/mutt/accounts/gmail.muttrc

# vim: filetype=neomuttrc
# muttrc file for account gmail
set realname = "gmail"
set from = "[email protected]"
set smtp_url = "smtp://[email protected]@smtp.gmail.com:587/"
set sendmail = "/usr/bin/msmtp -a gmail"
set folder = "~/.mail/gmail"
set header_cache = ~/.config/mutt/accounts/gmail/cache/headers
set message_cachedir = ~/.config/mutt/accounts/gmail/cache/bodies
set certificate_file = ~/.config/mutt/accounts/gmail/certificates
source "~/.config/mutt/credentials/getmuttpass gmail |"

set mbox_type = Maildir
set ssl_starttls = yes
set ssl_force_tls = yes

bind index,pager gg noop
bind index,pager g noop
bind index gg first-entry
unmailboxes *
mailboxes =gmail =------------------- "=[Gmail].Markiert" "=INBOX" "=[Gmail].Spam" "=[Gmail].Entw&APw-rfe$
macro index,pager gi "<change-folder>=INBOX<enter>" "Go to inbox."
macro index,pager gS "<change-folder>=[Gmail].Spam<enter>" "Go to spam."
set spoolfile = "+INBOX"
set record = ""
set postponed = ""

From what I see, mutt-wizzard has configured msmtp to send out email and calls it for the profile gmail...

set sendmail = "/usr/bin/msmtp -a gmail"

... but there is no msmtp configuration file ~/.msmtprc.

QUESTION:
Is this the problem, why sending out emails is not working under Gmail?

thanks for the script and the idea to make mutt easier to use for beginners.
I tried to setup neomut using mutt-wizard but run into a problem that I can't run offlineimap after adding my gmail-account and reaching the step:

The account "Gmail" has been added.
Now finalize the installation, do the following:
[...]

I opened a 2nd terminal and entered: offlineimap but run into several error messages:

[user@my-untrusted ~]$ offlineimap
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/offlineimap", line 23, in
oi.run()

File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/ConfigParser.py", line 396, in set
raise NoSectionError(section)
ConfigParser.NoSectionError: No section: 'general'

I thought that mutt-wizard will create the needed configuration files, but ~/.offlineimaprc is an empty file.

Any idea how to proced?

About my system:
I am running Qubes 4rc4 with a Fedora 26 based AppVM.
I have installed neomutt dialog, offlineimap and neomutt using these steps within the default fedora 26 template:

Install offlineimap and dialog:
dnf -y install dialog offlineimap dialog

to install neomutt in fedora:
Link: https://www.neomutt.org/distro/fedora
sudo dnf install dnf-plugins-core
sudo dnf copr enable flatcap/neomutt
sudo dnf -y install neomutt

OFFLINEIMAP:

• P.

For us plebs who use Gmail. Perhaps I could do this separately, but I think it would be good to add a note in the README or create a file for special cases like this.
