I use mutt with gmail IMAP and the following flags: |
6 |
|
7 |
[ebuild R ] mail-client/mutt-1.5.23-r5 USE="berkdb crypt gdbm gpg |
8 |
imap kerberos nls sasl smime smtp ssl -debug -doc -gnutls -idn -mbox |
9 |
-nntp -pop -qdbm (-selinux) -sidebar -slang -tokyocabinet" 0 kB |

I think the most important ones for gmail are imap, smtp, and ssl. I |
12 |
believe imap and smtp are off by default, at least they were when I first |
13 |
installed mutt, my package use flags are: |
14 |
|
15 |
mail-client/mutt sasl gpg imap smime smtp |
16 |
|
17 |
I think kerberos is pulled in for me by a global use flag. |

gpg and smime are only needed if you want to work with encrypted/signed |
20 |
email. I don't think I needed sasl but left it there in case someday I |
21 |
wanted to play with kerberos auth. |

Relevant lines from my muttrc are: |
24 |
|
25 |
set smtp_url="smtp://<username>@gmail.com@××××××××××.com:587/" |
26 |
set folder="imaps://imap.gmail.com/" |
27 |
set imap_user="<username>@gmail.com" |
28 |
unset record |
29 |
set postponed="imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Drafts" |
30 |
set spoolfile="=INBOX" |
31 |
set header_cache="$HOME/.mutt/header_cache/gmail" |
32 |

It works reasonably well. My main complaint is that it fairly regularly |
34 |
drops my persistant connection and I need to reconnect. That's most |
35 |
annoying when I just went through 100 emails and deleted many, and it |
36 |
drops the connection before the delete has been synced :(. Other than |
37 |
that it works fine. |

We recently switched to office365 at work, and it has the same problem |
40 |
with dropped imap connections. I'm not sure if they just both |
41 |
occasionally boot annoying imap users who have hung out too long or if |
42 |
mutt has issues with imap over a possibly flaky remote connection. |

Good luck... |
