Am I using Mutt correctly? 1. I open up a xterm window, using KDE 2.2.2 on SuSE 7.3. 2. At command prompt I type "mutt", press Enter. Mutt opens up, no errors. 3. I press Shift+G 4. Mutt goes through several attempts to login to my mail server before it finally stops and reports the error message above. I'm brand new to Mutt, so any advice is welcome.
