How to make mutt work with gmail?
chutsu
I recently installed mutt on my mac using "macports", and I don't know
what to put into the .muttrc to make it work with gmail... Does anyone
have a working .muttrc I can copy off?
Thanks
Chris

There is a guide that might be useful:
Using Mutt with Gmail
http://www.andrews-corner.org/mutt.html
It does not deal with IMAP though....

# Base hook to reset account variables to known state before
activating new ones
account-hook . 'unset preconnect imap_user imap_pass
imap_authenticators; set ssl_starttls=ask-yes'
#GOOGLE
account-hook imaps://imap.gmail.com:993 \
'set \
imap_user="J...@gmail.com" imap_pass="XXX" \
folder="imaps://imap.gmail.com:993" \
record="imaps://imap.gmail.com:993/[Google Mail]/Sent Mail" \
from="J...@gmail.com" hostname="gmail.com" \
'
set spoolfile="imaps://imap.gmail.com:993/INBOX"
mailboxes +INBOX +'[Google Mail]/All Mail' +'[Google Mail]/Sent Mail'
+'[Google Mail]/Spam' +'[Google Mail]/YYY'
Works for me. Of course you need to change XXX to your password, JA to
your username and you can add as many YYY as you need.
Cheers,

Okay, morning indeed.
Apologies, I guess there's not much on imap there
but this may help you from my own muttrc. I use this in FreeBSD
and in OS X, it assumes the sidebar patch, IMAP enabled and esmtp.
I don't use the MacPorts version of mutt though, last I tried that
it wasn't built to enable IMAP (which seems a waste -- mutt has
terrific IMAP support).

Same thing you do for any other IMAP server.
What are you having problems with?

set folder=imaps://imap.gmail.com:993/
set imap_keepalive=30
