[SOLVED] encrypt password with pass for mutt

So I was able to encrypt my mutt password with gpg using the following line:

source "gpg -d $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mutt/accounts/password.gpg |"

How do I do the same with program "pass" ?

I'd first try to use the pass command, compare it to the behavior of the gpg command and then see whether you can adapt the existing gpg command for pass.

Re: [SOLVED] encrypt password with pass for mutt

so the command to use pass to encrypt your passwords for mutt is the following:

set imap_pass = "`pass $AccountInPass`"
