General :: Using Dropbox With Mutt
Oct 28, 2010
Have you used dropbox to sync your mail dirs? Was it a disaster? ... ? I have been using dropbox to sync across three ubuntu machines (two with 9.04, one with 10.04) and a windows vista machine, for about six months. I've seen a couple of oddities but am basically very happy with it. I pay for their 50GB store.
For email I use mutt and download (fetchmail) separately onto two of the ubuntu machines, outside the dropbox folders. It's a bit irritating maintaining two different mail dirs, but it does make for more security. I'm now thinking about putting the mail dirs into the dropbox folder. But if something then goes wrong with the syncing, it will be serious.

I have installed and configured mutt with gmail with no issues, following this documentation.Mutt with Gmail/IMAP [CrunchBang Linux Wiki]
I can send emails from mutt, but now I need to send email using scripts.If I try to use mutt from cmd line I have the following error.
trst:~ # echo "TESTING MUTT AND GMAIL SMTP RELAY" | mutt -s "url"
SSL connection using TLSv1/SSLv3 (RC4-MD5)
Interactive SMTP authentication not supported
Could not send the message.
The OS version: OPEN SUSE 11.3 Server installation (NO-GUI)

I use CentOS 5.3 and I am trying to send a simple email through mutt.My command is:echo "test" | mutt -s "test email" myemail addressI have no errors displayed but the email never goes out of the machine. Also the /var/log/maillog is empty.I can see the queued email with:sendmail -bpSo emails never go out.This PC is connected to a network which the gateway is another Linux machine which is configured to be the default gateway in my /etc/resolv.conf as nameserver.

I receive a lot of emails daily, and with the ever-growing amount of maildirs I'm in need to structure/optimize the browsing in mutt. My maildirs follow this naming scheme: .domain.category.sub_category
My goal is to break domain, category and sub_category into nested levels when browsing through the mailboxes. This is sort of achieved through the use of imap. But I stumble upon a few snags, so my questions are:
Is this nested mailboxes view possible by directly accessing ~/Mail and not using IMAP?
E.g. set folder="~/Mail" and set spoolfile="~/Mail/.INBOX"
When I start mutt I'm presented with all mailboxes available, which is what I want to get away from. I want to get directed directly into my default/main inbox like I do when accessing ~/Mail directly. How?
When hitting c (a defined macro, see configuration below) I again get presented with all the mailboxes available, and not the mailboxes at the current browsing level, e.g. mailboxes containing a specific category. To get this view I need to hit c+TAB. I've solved this by adding a <tab> to the c macro's. When finally getting mutt to present me mailboxes in nested levels they are only enumerated and not annotated with N, indicating new mail, or even better, total number of new mails in or under a folder. I know it's possible to define format on the different views, but is there one for this view? If so, which?
My mutt configuration:
set autoedit
set edit_headers
set reverse_name
set from='blapp'
set realname='Blapp'
set use_from .....
# Automatic viewing of html mail, but always prefer text/plain
set implicit_autoview
alternative_order text/plain text/html

I restarted a server yesterday for the first time in 2 years, but a shell script that send out an email every night via a mutt command line didn't work last night.
I don't know anything about mutt. do i have to start something in order for it to be able to work? is there a log i can look at to see what did or didn't happen making it not work?

I'm using a Linux machine at work, and started using at home in a VM for some home development. I have a vimrc and a bashrc with some configuration, that are useful for both machines. What is the best way to sync them? Create a symlink for each file in my home folder pointing out to a the respectives files in my Dropbox sync folder? Is this possible (delete .bashrc and create a symlink instead)?

Recently I installed Dropbox on a server to do file synchronization and it added " (Case Conflict 1)" to a whole bunch of my files! I realize now that it was caused by case insensitivity but I'm still left with hundreds of files that are in this renamed state. Is there a script in Linux that would allow me to recursively go through the directories and strip out this string?
i.e.
a (Case Conflict 1).jpg --> a.jpg
/myfolder/abc (Case Conflict 1).doc --> /myfolder/abc.doc
/myfolder/subfolder/mydoc (Case Conflict 1).pdf --> /myfolder/subfolder/mydoc.pdf

I'm dual booting windows and linux. My dropbox folder is currently installed via windows. On linux, can I just symlink my dropbox folder to the windows version or something to that effect? I know I can do it, but is there a way to do this and still have the daemon running and syncing correctly?

I am trying to find a good text based email client for an older machine, which will not run the GUI correctly due to min. hardware; however, I want to be able to use it with Text based email clients.Can anyone recommend a good text based email client that supports TLS/SSL for securied connections for IMAP, or even POP3?Does MUTT support SSL/TLS?

mutt-1.5.16-36 on opensuse 10.3 lacks SMTP support as shown in mutt -v ("-USE_SMTP"). Does anyone know which version of mutt would have it for opensuse 10.3 and where can I download it from? I don't want to compile from source or use an external program.

When running MUTT on a RHEL 5.4 box, I get the message:
------------------------------------------------------
Server certificate has expired
This certificate belongs to:
localhost.localdomain
Unknown
SomeOrganization
SomeOrganizationalUnit
[URL]
I choose "accept always", but the same message appears next time. I do not wish to have a certificate requirement for MUTT and did not intentionally set the program up to include this feature. How can I get rid of it? My second choice would be to get a new certificate, but then I have to go through this every year. I have MUTT working on two other servers and this does not happen.

I'm trying to get my network set up. There is an internal network separated, by a dedicated firewall, from the DMZ. I'm trying to send mail from the internal network, using mutt, to the postfix server on the DMZ.No firewall is set up yet on the dedicated firewall(the whole network is, at the moment, protected by the border router) Mutt was installed with the smtp, pop,imap,ssl,sasl,gdbm options.
I thought the fact that it was compiled with the SMTP flag set would enable me to either send mail without an MTA on the same machine that mutt is installed on(internal network host) Or that i could just specify the path to the sendmail binary and not have to start postfix as a daemon ?I've found out that sendmail is supposed to be a postfix command. So i added:
Code:
sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail"
to /Users/me/.mutt/muttrc
But now when i start mutt i get an error saying:
Code:
/usr/sbin/sendmail: Unknown command
Obviously i started postfix before firing up mutt The permissions say that i should be able to execute sendmail as a normal user.But mutt isn't dealing with it, even though permissions appear to be correct.What do i need to do to get mail, from a normal user, over my LAN working(with mutt and postfix)?Once i have this working then i can get a proper domain name and configure postfix on the DMZ for SASL+TLS etc etcBTW i can send mail to postfix from internal network using
Code:
telnet serverhost 25
etc

I am currently using a shell script to run a java app which performs some integration logic. The shell then continues to compile a file with all stats resulting from the java app. I then send this compiled stats file to several emails. The email is from 'root'. Is there anyway to change this without having to create a new user and running this app as them instead.

I have been using icedove for quite sometime. Now I feel I need to also use the flexibility that mutt allows. In such a case, is there a way that mutt can read icedove mails, maybe via some plugin or other. I do not want to do the import icedove mails to mutt as there would be duplication of metadata and space.

I have a certificate froma CA that I want to use with Mutt. I have been using this certificate to sign emails in thunderbird and I don't want to send emails from mutt without it. I looked on Mutts website, but I wasn't able to make heads or tails of it. I found something on Google about gpgp certificates and wanted to know if that would be the same type of instructions.

I have a slight problem with using Mutt and Lynx to view html stuff that people send.
The problem is that mutt now seems to think almost everything is html!
So receiving mail from, say a gmail user, will give me a lynx dump, rather than just displaying the plain text.
My muttrc is:
And my .mailcap file is:

Ubuntu Lucid amd64, mutt-1.5.20-7ubuntu1
I'm pretty sure the following used to work:
Code:
$ mutt mailto:url?subject="Whoop dee doo"
Now mutt exits silently with status=1. Tried setting EDITOR/VISUAL, no difference.
Edit: I had tempdir pointed at a non-existent directory in my .muttrc. Still annoying that there was no error message, but at least things are working again.

I can insert an image inline with mutt by using attach, then using ctl+d to make the image appear inline. However, it appears below my signature. If anyone knows of a way to make the image appear above the signature, I'd be grateful for their input. (This is with mutt 1.5.21--usually sent from a Fedora 14 machine, but I haven't found the behavior to change with the platform.)
Unfortunately, it's necessary to do this at work, for a particular daily email. The workaround is to use Thunderbird for this particular email, but I'd much prefer to use mutt.
