#neomutt — Public Fediverse posts

@klimperfix I’m very happy with #neomutt but it’s also the only one I’ve tried

So, after years of running Ubuntu as my daily driver, I thought I'd give CachyOS a try before Ubuntu's next LTS release in April. I have to say CachyOS+Gnome desktop is lightning fast! I've much to do but having removed FireFox, changed the default fish shell to zsh, installed & set up NeoMutt, PyRadio & the re-implimentation of 'TUI' (command line app for Mastodon) with 'tooi' (@ihabunek which is awesome!!), things are looking good so far! #cachyos #archlinux #neomutt #tooi #zsh

Any #Mutt / #NeoMutt users here ?
I'd like to have my reply to mails copied not only in my Sent folder, but also in my Inbox (which is sorted by thread).
Any idea ? I've tries things such as
reply-hook . '+INBOX'
But nothing works…
Thanks !

Anyone got an idea why multiple email threads in neomutt keep reappearing? I archive them, and the next time I sync the inbox, they are back.

I'd even tried archiving the thread (60+ emails) one by one but without avail.

In addition, two emails are completely missing. They are there in the browser but nowhere to be found in neomutt.

Nouvel article sur mon blog: les courriels multipart et #neomutt. Ou comment envoyer des courriels en HTML à l'aide de #markdown #pandoc et un peu de #bash.

I did pay for protonmail and added it to #neomutt. It's a pleasure using it to go through emails, delete, save some as markdown files, save attachments etc. Soon enough I'll reach inbox zero and it's almost a shame because neomutt is so beautiful when there are emails in the inbox. #linux #TUI

My parents' old laptop won't boot with anything in the second RAM slot, maybe I'm doing something wrong. Anyway I switched the existing 1 GB for a 2 GB and installed a new SSD and that made a big difference.

Wasn't too happy about #NeoMutt's IMAP stability anyway, but now it lost an email I've spent an hour writing.

That's it, I'm done, I'll migrate to something else.

Hey #mutt or #neomutt users - What are you using in local bsd mboxes for searching/grepping?

I was using #mairix for 15 years but with debian trixie mairix is not available anymore, and mairix has issues with >2GB folders (It uses 32 bit ptr in its index)

I am having 30+ years in BSD Mboxes summing up to 50GByte+ gzipped compressed bsd mboxes - about 5700 MBoxes (sent/received per month etc)

I try, once more, to lobby for a proper format=flowed support at @protonprivacy

Talking about #neomutt today. Hopefully, it'll be easier to read than it was to write :)

Hab ich schonmal erwähnt dass ich #neomutt und #notmuch echt geil finde?

On slow connections, #NeoMutt feels really dated. A lot of things don't show great progress information, sometimes it's doing something without telling me _anything_, and not even redrawing the screen during some (or most?) operations seems just … sorry, amateurish.

So, I love #Thunderbird, but it bogs down my poor old #Linux laptop. I thought I would try a few terminal email clients. Here is how it went:

* #Alpine (new Pine): Connecting to Gmail was hard - even when I had set up application-specific passwords for 2FA. Had to manually edit SMTP settings in .pinerc

* #NeoMutt (new Mutt): required serious manual config to get the sidebar showing and even then CTRL-O would not switch email folders for me

* #aerc: A joy. Sidebar by default. Working key commands. Nice colon menu for commands. Was able to set up multiple gmail accounts with application-specific passwords.

Is there a nice, POSIX-compatible(!) way to use the smaller (or larger) value of two integers in a shell expression(!)?

Something like

$ echo $(min 100 80)
80

I know that I can use `if` and `test -lt` or something, but those are statements.

My use case is this: I'm calling an external command from #NeoMutt, and NeoMutt sets $COLUMNS to the width of the terminal. However, I want to limit it to 80 or lower.

e.g. call

my-command -width $(min $COLUMNS 80)

#shell #Linux #CLI #ShellScripting

And here's the NeoMutt feature request for OSC 8 in the pager.

https://github.com/neomutt/neomutt/issues/4654

#NeoMutt #OSC8

#html2text (the Python tool, https://alir3z4.github.io/html2text, in Debian as python3-html2text which then provides a "html2markdown" binary) converts HTML into Markdown and (with the right CLI options) does a pretty good job, too.

From there, you can use a good Markdown renderer like lowdown to get an awesome experience – _if_ your terminal supports OSC 8 hyperlinks.

Like, look at this. It still has a few quirks, but for an HTML email in the terminal? It's fucking beautiful.

But no OSC 8 in #NeoMutt. 😔

The quest to find the best HTML to text converter for #NeoMutt.

Because the `-dump` option of all text mode browsers seems to be stuck in the 90s, generating plain text only.

But terminals can do so much more these days. Bold, italic, underline, 24-bit color, even clickable links (where the text is _any_ text, not just a URL).

#Pandoc's `-t ansi` indeed supports these links — but NeoMutt's pager doesn't. 😩 Also, there are a lot of horizontal lines in its output, which I don't understand.

Awww, #DebianTrixie finally comes with a #NeoMutt version that's recent enough to support bold and italic <3

#CLI #TUI

Trying out #aerc and I want to like it (it has some fancy feature like embedded terminal etc) but there are some weird behaviours that don’t seem quite right. Sorting the way I want seems impossible (whether I do `sort date` or `sort -r date` it always appears to be reverse-chronological, not chronological; `sort from -r date`seems close to what I want but is inexplicable); and threads get reorganised on every delete so if I read through a thread and delete messages as I go, it might suddenly decide that the next message is actually one from a different thread.

I used #mutt back in the day and I see #neomutt has imap support now, so I’ll be giving that a try next.

Is anyone else using Ghostty with Neomutt?

They don't seem to play nicely together, but maybe there's something I can do to address this?

I came across something recently that basically stressed the importance of understanding the tools you use on a daily basis to get the most out of them. It suggested that you need to get familiar with the primary sources of docs as well and not just distilled summaries that hold your hand and give you a generic solution to one particular problem your trying to solve. With that in mind, my reading list lately has been the official docs for #neomutt, #irssi, #i3wm, #opnsense, #tmux. I think this is more important than ever when it's so easy to use an #llm to search for information.

Question for you!

Do you have any documentation, guides, or tips on how to get #neomutt's #autocrypt working with a chatmail server?

I've gotten as far as importing my keys so I can read messages from the mail server on both clients, but I can't figure out how to extract the keys from a message so I can add them and send successfully from mutt.

What am I missing?

Is there any way to use #mbsync with the Cyrus SASL plugin, but restrict that plugin to only one mail account? Installing that plugin prevents 3 of my 4 email accounts from syncing, but the fourth requires OAUTH2 to be able to connect.

- my calendar (calcurse + calcurse-caldav. Might switch to vdirsyncer)
- my mail (offlineimap + neomutt)
- my todo txt (todo.sh)

Not happy with saving credentials in plain text :-(

But I can look into Lua (conky and awesome WM widgets) next!

@le_ArthurDent

Interesting. I have heard of #neomutt, but what is #secrettool and #davmail?

I believe I use gnome-keyring to unlock my GnuPG key pair, but I'm not sure.

To configure neomutt for the first time is tricky, even more if you want to use multiple email accounts.

For some users it's a matter of personal choice. For othersas me, it's the only option.

Half an hour to make my two work email accounts work fine. Well, the good part of it is that as soon as you get the right config, reinstalling or installing this e-mail client on other computers is a matter of seconds.
