Thanks very much for this. This was very helpful to understand and get started. It turns out that I had to play around a bit more, and set ssl etc, but it looks like it is working. The following was helpful on this account: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=159584. I had a few more questions. Is it possible to have a hook based on where the email is coming to? So, if I am in this folder, then I use the above, but I am wondering if I can have a hook that says something like if the e-mail was sent to mai...@email.com then use the same account. Also, how do I give multiple folders for a hook? So, in the above, if I am in mutt or R or fedora, etc, I can use that account? Or do I specify one hook for each folder? Many thanks again for your help, Mihail! Best wishes, Ranjan
