Weird. Very weird.
set from = "d...@dalekelly.org"
set realname = "Dale"
This should not be in your /etc/muttrc! Your global muttrc in /etc or
/etc/mutt is supposed to set very few defaults. 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.
got it to recognize mu ~/.muttrc my removing duplicate expressions,
still the same error

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 if it is a workaround but port 25 doesn't work in
THunderbird, I have to use port 80 for no SSL/TLS
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.
seems like it now, in the Ubuntu wiki it says I need a MTA (mail
transport agent), it says it installs Postfix as default, then goes on
to configuration of sSMTP MTA
the Ubuntu software center says it supports SMTP with ESMTP MTA
And I don't know why you are changing so many things at one time instead of
taking an orderly step by step approach.
I've gone through the variations step by step, I just didn't communicate
it that well
And now that you have compiled mutt yourself and also installed from
packages it is likely you have multiple muttrc files in /etc too.
no, I removed the dev version with sudo make uninstall, first
I only have one Muttrc and one .muttrc
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.
that is what I am working off of
