Everything else is commented out. You are expected to copy that and make whatever customizations are necessary for each mutt user. You don't save your credentials in /etc. > set smtp_url=smtp://smtpout.secureserver.net:80 Why are you using port 80 for SMTP? If you are trying to get past an ISP imposed firewall this won't work anyway. It will get you out from your ISP but you will be trying to send email through secureservers webserver. I don't know why you are trying so many versions of mutt. The version you compiled looked fine. It is clearly a problem of authentication, if you have shown us all the messages you are getting. And I don't know why you are changing so many things at one time instead of taking an orderly step by step approach. And now that you have compiled mutt yourself and also installed from packages it is likely you have multiple muttrc files in /etc too. Why don't you make a backup copy of the muttrc in your /home directory and modify the original to contain the bare minimum info needed to specify your userid password and mail server? Get that working first and then start worrying about customizing mutt later. There is a huge pile of crap here and no sign of being able to wade through it. /jl -- ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) Powered by Lemote Fuloong against HTML e-mail X Loongson MIPS and OpenBSD and proprietary / \ http://www.mutt.org attachments / \ Code Blue or Go Home!
