Hello. I'v finaly begun my endevour to learn mutt. Learn to email the right way. I have an IMAP account set up. Mailing list threads. I have too supply my passwaord only once to read and send. Great! I love it. I feel liberated at last. But, I want more. I want multiple accounts.
I'm trying to migrate my working single account setup to one with hooks. I think the problem is my quoting. The configs I've seen online seem to vary in how values are quoted and I'm confused about when to use single or double quotes. After reading the manual and other stuff, I was figuring values that = a variable would be double quoted so they can be expanded by the shell, otherwise use single quotes for strings with special characters &:) spaces etc, and not needing further interpretation by the shell. Does that sound kinda right? I'll under stand bash one day. With just one account this works: ~/.muttrc # global IMAP settings set imap_check_subscribed set imap_keepalive=300 set mail_check = 120 set timeout = 300 # use headercache for IMAP (make sure this is a directory for performance!) set header_cache=~/.mutt/cache/headers set message_cachedir=~/.mutt/cache/bodies set certificate_file=~/.mutt/certificates # IMAP account settings set my_pass1=`read -s -p 'user1mail.net mail-password : ' mailpass ; echo $mailpass` set imap_user=us...@domain1.net set imap_pass=$my_pass1 set hostname=host1.net set folder=imaps://$imap_user@mail.$hostname/ set spoolfile=imaps://$imap_user@mail.$hostname/INBOX set postponed=imaps://$imap_user@mail.$hostname/Drafts set record=imaps://$imap_user@mail.$hostname/Sent set smtp_url=smtp://$imap_user:$smtp_pass@mail.$hostname:123 set realname=User1 set from='User1 <us...@domain.net>' When I try to wrap it in hooks, mutt can't seem to find the mail box's or something. ~/.muttrc account-hook . "unset imap_user unset imap_pass" account-hook 'imaps://us...@domain1.net' " \ set imap_user='us...@domain1.net' ; \ set imap_pass="$my_pass1" " folder-hook 'imaps://us...@domain1.net' " \ set hostname='host1.net' ; \ set folder="imaps://$imap_user@mail.$hostname/" ; \ set spoolfile="imaps://$imap_user@mail.$hostname/INBOX" ; \ set postponed="imaps://$imap_user@mail.$hostname/Drafts" ; \ set record="imaps://$imap_user@mail.$hostname/Sent" ; \ set smtp_pass="$my_pass1" ; \ set smtp_url="smtp://$imap_user:$smtp_pass@mail.$hostname:123" ; \ set realname='User1' ; \ set from='User1 <us...@domain1.net>' " I'm just working on one account at the moment. I figure if get one right I can then use it is a template for more accounts. Should that work? Just one account but using hooks instead of plain commands? Perhaps the SMTP stuff shoud go in a send-hook? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
