Ok, if macports isn't installed on your machine, you need to install it. It's a software management system: http://www.macports.org/install.php Once it's installed, all you need to do is type sudo port install mutt-devel and it will download mutt and all it's dependencies, compile them and install. I use imap with ssl and headercache so I also include those variants and instead type: sudo port install mutt-devel +gdbm+headercache+imap+ssl Best, Marc
