(neo)mutt mail config

Installation

Installation is 3-step:

1. Run the installer
2. Add encrypted account settings
3. Edit muttrc for account preferences

Installer

The install script makes a timestamped backup of any existing mutt instances.

cd ~/.mutt
./install

my_hdr X-PGP-Key: [asc]         # optional
set pgp_sign_as=0xXXXXXXXX      # optional

Encryption

Add account settings to a txt file named after the account, then encrypt, add to the mutt accounts directory and source in the profile. Delete the unencrypted txt settings file.

gpg -r [keyID] -e [filename]
mv filename.gpg ~/.mutt/accounts/
shred [filename]

If gpg-agent misbehaves try:

killall -q gpg-agent
eval $(gpg-agent --daemon)
