Mutt help wit config

ralpheeee88 · 2015-10-10 10:51:51

can anyone pls help with the following:

1) when not connected to the internet I cannot use Mutt...I get could not find host imap gmail and get a black screen in mutt (no folders/emails) just saying no mail box open

2) have set up F2 / F3 to switch email account 1 & 2...this works apart from the fact that all folders from both accounts are merged into one

EDIT: sorry, I read far to quickly the first time and misunderstood.

Is you problem actually with mutt, or with offlineimap? Are your email files stored locally where you expect them to be?

Your muttrc sourced files for each accounts don't actually point at your local maildirs, but rather at the imap server - this is why you can't access them while offline.

ok so my emails are stored locally....tried changing a few things around...cant get it work...keep getting syntax error...could you possibly illustrate pls?

# IMAP: offlineimap
set folder = "~/Mail/Work"
set folder = "~/Mail/Personal"
source ~/.mutt/com.gmail.boyo
source ~/.mutt/com.gmail.ralpheeee88
set spoolfile = "+INBOX"
set postponed = "+[Gmail]/Drafts"
set record = "+[Gmail]/Sent\ Items"

I think your talking about this section and trying to make change to no success...

You can only set folder once - I suspect all the other uses of `set folder` are overriding the first. So when you set folder in those sourced files, you end up just setting the folder to the last imap server listed.

I use mbsync for a local maildir - but from the mutt side, it is the same as using offline imap. Some anonymized excerpts from my muttrc:

# use smtp for sending
set from="myemail@myserver"
set smtp_url="smtp://user@mail.server:587/"
set smtp_pass="mypassword"
set ssl_starttls = yes

# but only use local maildirs for receiving.  Set my preferred/default account as the folder value:
set realname="First Last"
set mbox_type=Maildir
set folder=$HOME/.mail/main_account
set spoolfile=+/Inbox
set record="+/Sent"
set postponed="+/Drafts"

# use keybindings to switch to other account mailboxes:
macro index <f1> "c=Inbox<return>" "change to main account inbox"
macro index <f2> "c=../second_account/Inbox<return>" "change to second account inbox"
macro index <f3> "c=../third_account/Inbox<return>" "change to third account inbox"

In short, if you are using offline imap, let that handle all your accounts. Mutt just then accesses a local maildir. Aside from a couple lines for sending through your preferred smtp server, there should be *nothing* about gmail or mail servers in your mutt configuration. You are just reading files in different subdirectories of ~/.mail (or ~/Maildir, or wherever you store your mail - ~/Mail in your case).

I have more in my muttrc for colors, some other bindings, and some other settings, but the above lines should be all that would be needed to use mutt with several local maildir accounts handled by offlineimap.

am too retarded ...i dont understand
in muutrc set folder points to ~/.mutt where i have set-up both my email accounts

8 # IMAP: offlineimap
  #set folder = "~/Mail"
  set folder = ~/mail
  source ~/.mutt/account.com.gmail.boyo.ralph
  source ~/.mutt/account.com.gmail.ralpheeee88
  set spoolfile = "+INBOX"
  set postponed = "+[Gmail]/Drafts"
  set record = "+[Gmail]/Sent\ Items"

are you saying i should not do this and use config offlineimap as "set folder and source?

Trilby · 2015-10-10 13:41:47

I'm saying use the "set folder" line only once.

Looking back at your offlineimap config, you have mail stored in ~/mail/personal and ~/mail/work. One of these you would want as your default, right? Which one? Assuming it is personal, you could do the following:

set mbox_type=Maildir
set folder=$HOME/mail/personal
#adjust the following lines for what the Inbox path is actually named
set spoolfile=+/Inbox
macro index <f1> "c=Inbox<return>" "change to personal account inbox"
macro index <f2> "c=../work/Inbox<return>" "change to work account inbox"

If offlineimap is working, don't change anything about it. Get rid of the two files you are sourcing in your muttrc. Mutt should not have any information about your mail servers to receive email (there should be no references at all to imap servers).

Now, if you want to *send* from a different smtp server based on which account you are currently viewing, that can be done. There are a few approaches, but take one step at a time. I'd recommend first just picking one smtp server to send all outgoing mail until everything is up and running. Then you can look into hooks to change the outgoing server as desired.

 /home/ralpheeee/mail/work does not exist. Create it? ([yes]/no):

This means offlineimap is not syncing your mail to ~/mail/work. But you had already stated that you have your mail locally stored in a maildir: if it is not ~/mail/work, then where is it? Is it ~/mail/Work? Case matters. Set the folder variable in muttrc to where your mail actually is - I gave examples form my system, but I don't know where your mail is.

Also the spool file, record, and postponded are wrong below:

set folder = "~/mail/Work"
source ~/.mutt/account.com.gmail.boyo.ralph
set spoolfile = "+Work/INBOX"
set record = "+Work/Sent\ Items"
set postponed = "+Work/Drafts"

These are set *relative* to the folder. So you are telling mutt that the spoolfile is ~/mail/Work/Work/INBOX when it is probably more like ~/mail/Work/INBOX (or perhaps ~/mail/Work/Inbox, or some other variation).

Keep in mind this is getting very confusing: you are editting several files and sourcing some of them without showing what's in them. In your very last post, you show a pretty good start to a muttrc file, but it also sources some other file - and I have no idea what is in that other file at the moment. For now, just use one file and show what is in it at each state of troubleshooting - you can split it up later if you want.

so how do I see were my mail dir is?

Trilby · 2015-10-10 14:54:57

You tell me. The offlineimaprc that you shared in your first post suggests that it is at ~/mail/Personal. I was curious whether offlineimap was actually working, so I asked early on if you could see the actual mail files in that directory - you claimed they were there ... so wherever you looked and found them is where your maildir is.

Is there a folder ~/mail/Personal? Does is contain subfolders? If so, what are they? Is one of them Inbox or INBOX or something like that? Does this subfolder have three subfolders of it's own called new cur and tmp?

ok so I nuked all various folders that had emails....and ran offlineimap again....

emails are in ~/mail >
1) Personal
2) Work

both have sub directories folders of my gmail accounts

mail is synced into ~/.mail/gmail (only doing one account)

however I get following error when trying to open mutt without email connection

Could not find the host "imap.gmail.com"

and have a blank mutt (no folders/emails inside of mutt)

so another strange behaviour....changed colours in my accounts ; account 1 > black; account 2 > blue....so when I start mutt my default account is 1...when starting account 1 is blue...if i press F2 it changes colour to black...F3 for account 2 to blue......am just wondering why when I initially start mutt it opens account 1 but with blue colour scheme

Why did you change the one thing that was working?! offlineimap was working fine. Now we have yet a new variable thrown into the mix for no reason. Is isync retrieving your mail? Do you have subfolders of ~/mail/gmail? Based on your config file, if you do, INBOX is not one of them, but Inbox is - so why do you specify INBOX in your muttrc? We were making progress, but now we need to start completely back at the beginning.

Also as I've said many times now, the problem still remains that you are sourcing that other file in muttrc. I don't know what is in that file, but I am quite confident that that is where the problem is. If mutt is trying to connect to imap.gmail.com then it must be due to what is in that sourced file.

As for the color changes, I have no clue. You are clearly hiding some of your muttrc that would have this information.

Get rid of the two files you are sourcing in your muttrc. Mutt should not have any information about your mail servers to receive email (there should be no references at all to imap servers).

So you gave me the impression earlier that you had followed my advice - but it turns out you were ignoring it all along and instead of removing the offending parts of your muttrc, you just hid them.

What kind of help do you expect here if you will not make the suggested revisions to your muttrc? I'm telling you what you need to do, but you are not doing it.

this is a newbie section and i am sorry to say i find your directions vague..."Get rid of the two files you are sourcing in your muttrc"....

you referring to my folder hooks section, basic config section,........

Trilby · 2015-10-11 13:35:59

I'm referring to the whole damned thing. There is nothing vague about saying use "set folder" only once. That setting appears in your config 3 or 4 times. 3 or 4 is more than once.

There is also nothing vague about saying there should be no references at all to imap servers. You have three lines explicitly referencing imap servers and dozens more setting imap settings.

How can I be more direct: get rid of all of that crap. All of it. Start fresh and build from there. What you had in post #8 would have worked - the reason it didn't was that all those settings were changed or overridden by all that other crap that you didn't mention in your muttrc. So delete the entire muttrc file and everything it sources. Start with only what you had in post #8 (except for that source line - don't source any other files). Now it will also need to be revised to match the folder structure of isync rather than offlineimap, but it should still only be 6 or 7 lines long. Or start with what I had in post #6 - and use only that with the paths revised. I'll go even further and revise it for you:

set mbox_type=Maildir
set folder=$HOME/mail/gmail
#adjust the following lines for what the Inbox path is actually named
set spoolfile=+/Inbox

To be clear, that is not an excerpt, that is a fully functional muttrc for reading mail (we'll work on sending next if you are able and willing to follow instructions).

When that works (not if, but when, because it will work as soon as you actually do what is requested), then you can add back colors, and any other fancy stuff you want. But you will not ever add back imap settings to your muttrc. You are using isync to retrieve your mail, not mutt.

as a moderator i can only suggest you delete the whole thread...obviously I exhausted your patience....
