I am getting errors when I execute the following command: mutt -f pop://<my_account><my_mail_server> Here are the errors: Error in /home/brian/.muttrc, line 70: imap_host: unknown variable Error in /home/brian/.muttrc, line 71: imap_delete: unknown variable Error in /home/brian/.muttrc, line 109: too few arguments Error in /home/brian/.muttrc, line 127: web_browser: unknown variable source: errors in /home/brian/.muttrc I assume that the errors are probably independent of the command, as they are related to .muttrc, so here are the lines in my .muttrc file: set imap_host="mail.linuxfreemail.com" set imap_delete="yes" send-hook "~t "mutt-users@mutt.org" 'set indent_string="# "' set web_browser="lynx %s Can anyone help me straighten these out <newbie alert>? Cheers, Brian
On Thu, 27 Jun 2002, Brian just had to get this off his chest:
I am getting errors when I execute the following command:
mutt -f pop://<my_account><my_mail_server>
Here are the errors:
Error in /home/brian/.muttrc, line 70: imap_host: unknown variable Error in /home/brian/.muttrc, line 71: imap_delete: unknown variable Error in /home/brian/.muttrc, line 109: too few arguments Error in /home/brian/.muttrc, line 127: web_browser: unknown variable source: errors in /home/brian/.muttrc
I assume that the errors are probably independent of the command, as they are related to .muttrc, so here are the lines in my .muttrc file:
set imap_host="mail.linuxfreemail.com"
"imap_host" doesn't exist (at least not in 1.3.28).
set imap_delete="yes"
Neither does "imap_delete".
send-hook "~t "mutt-users@mutt.org" 'set indent_string="# "'
send-hook "~t mutt-users@mutt.org" \ 'set indent_string="# "' You have one double-quote too many.
set web_browser="lynx %s
Doesn't exist either as it says. Theo -- Theo v. Werkhoven ICBM 52 8 24N , 4 32 40E. S.u.S.E 7.3 x86 Kernel 2.4.16-4GB See headers for PGP/GPG info.

Are these old commands or newer than the version of Mutt I am using? How do I set up IMAP in my version of Mutt? Cheers, Brian

You can open an IMAP INBOX simply by addressing it as a local folder with Mutt. In your .muttrc add: mailboxes 'imap://YurEMailName@linuxfreemail.com' Then access that folder from Mutt. Your password will be requested. (RTFM) These points are presented in the Mutt manual, /usr/local/doc/mutt/manual.txt You will receive more accurate and speedier answers in the mutt-users mail-list @ mutt-users@mutt.org
Cheers,
Brian

That is why I am asking these fucking questions. Yes, I could join the mutt-users list and I have joined at various times. While some members have been very helpful, many on that list have this same attitude, which is why I am not on the list and which I might add, is not conducive to newbies learning Linux. SInce I made the above change, I have now started getting the following error: "Error in /home/brian/.muttrc, line 111: too few arguments" Here is the line in my .muttrc file: send-hook "~t mutt-users@mutt.org 'set indent_string="# "' Cheers, Brian

c - change mailbox (press ? to get a list of mailboxes) IINM that would make the IMAP box show up the list. I have yet to experiment with IMAP/mutt, so I could be wrong, but that's how you normally change folders, and I can't imagine opening an IMAP-mailbox should be any different...
SInce I made the above change, I have now started getting the following error:
"Error in /home/brian/.muttrc, line 111: too few arguments"
Here is the line in my .muttrc file:
send-hook "~t mutt-users@mutt.org 'set indent_string="# "'
I count three "s in the above line. Add a " at the end, should make it right... hth Jon Clausen

Better put that after the address bit, ie send-hook "~t mutt-users@mutt.org" 'set indent_string="# "' ^here Theo -- Theo v. Werkhoven ICBM 52 8 24N , 4 32 40E. S.u.S.E 7.3 x86 Kernel 2.4.16-4GB See headers for PGP/GPG info.

I added: send-hook "~t mutt-users@mutt.org" 'set indent_string="# "' as per Theo's advice and now I get: "source: errors in /home/brian/.muttrc" Any idea what this means? Cheers, Brian
