The Ubuntu package includes the manual that goes with that particular version of Mutt; you can read it with $ zless /usr/share/doc/mutt/manual.txt.gz , or by hitting F1 from within Mutt. I looked in that manual on a 14.04 LTS system and found that it does not mention "smtp_user" anywhere. However, a search of the document for "smtp_url" and "URL Syntax" turn up a few sections of the manual that explain how to specify the username as part of the SMTP URL string. Nathan
