I'll compile a mutt on my system and enable that feature to test. I too noticed the bit about color in the gdb output. The only color element I've changed recently is the indicator. For now, I've removed to see if that was indeed the cause. I do have a lot of color settings. I also use wrapper script to start mutt which sets up some color elements. I have been using that for over a year and never experienced a crash before. In fact, this is the first time mutt has crashed on me in the 6 years I've been using it. Thanks again for replying and assisting. Jamie. -- James Griffin: jmz at kontrol.kode5.net A4B9 E875 A18C 6E11 F46D B788 BEE6 1251 1D31 DC38
Beginner having difficulty saving to IMAP "sent" folder
Hi, I'm a completely new Mutt user with some CLI experience, and I'm trying to set it up with an IMAP provider. I've run into a couple of obstacles I haven't been able to solve by performing a web search, using IRC or reading the wiki. Spec: Debian 7 "Wheezy", Mutt 1.5.21. I'm successfully connecting to IMAPS using TLS1.2 and can retrieve mail. Sending is set up to use Mutt's built-in SMTPS capability, though because of the problems below I haven't been able to confirm it works yet. 1) When attempting to send an email, immediately after tapping, "y", I get asked to authenticate over TLS. Reading the log shows that this is an attempt to save the message to the IMAP "sent" folder. But after authenticating the process fails with the following (prior lines have been included for context): [LOG BEGINS] [2013-08-13 15:23:26] mutt_sasl_cb_authname: getting authname for REDACTED:993 [2013-08-13 15:23:26] mutt_sasl_cb_authname: getting user for REDACTED:993 [2013-08-13 15:23:26] mutt_sasl_cb_pass: getting password for REDACTED@REDACTED@REDACTED:993 [2013-08-13 15:23:33] Authenticating (PLAIN)...

[LOG ENDS] I can successfully navigate manually into the "Sent" folder on the server using Mutt, so this suggests to me that my "folder=" setting in my muttrc is correct. I know the username and password I'm supplying are correct. And even though the log shows the process as "aborting", Mutt continues to display, "Authenticating (PLAIN)..." at the foot of the window - at the moment it's up to 20 minutes and counting. 2) During the same process above, when Mutt asks me to authenticate for IMAPS, it asks for my login username, but pre-fills the field with my current user account. How can I amend this behaviour so that it uses the IMAP username by default? A web search reveals the, "mutt_addr_is_user" variable, but a search on the wiki and in the manual for this term gives no results. Regards, SQ.

You may want to try setting 'record' similar to this for sent messages, unless you want to keep a local copy: set record = "+INBOX/sent-mail" if you haven't already done so. With Gmail you wouldn't need to do this. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

It delegates the job to some Mail Trasport Agent (MTA). On *nix systems, usually it is sendmail, sometimes postfix, or msmtp. I use sendmail since it comes as default with my distribution. I did not configure anything. I believe you can choose this by setting the sendmail variable like this: set sendmail="your_favourite_mta --args" Apart from this, all I do in my ~/.muttrc to send emails is: set smtp_url="smtp://usern...@smtp.example.com:587/" set smtp_pass=mypassword set from="usern...@example.com" > 2) During the same process above, when Mutt asks me to authenticate for > IMAPS, it asks for my login username, but pre-fills the field with my > current user account.

This should work; set imap_user=username Hope this helps, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.

I'm using 1.5.21. I'm not sure if I'm just misunderstanding that statement or what, but when I send I still see mention of postfix in the logs - I think that's what my IMAP provider uses, though, not me. > > 2) During the same process above, when Mutt asks me to authenticate for > > IMAPS, it asks for my login username, but pre-fills the field with my > > current user account.

Happy days. Thanks!
