Likely a postfix problem, as you said. Type mailq at the root prompt and see
what it says ...

Depends on whether you are connected to your home ISP or your university lan.
Maybe one or the other requires SMTP-AUTH or something similar?

This _should_ work ideally, where is mutt putting the mails you are sending,
and where does postfix's mail queue reside?

What imap is that? It might be broken - or you have a permissions problem
somewhere.

Depends on your imap server as well ... can you create imap folders using
(say) pine?
