This is pointing to the problem. Look at line 136. Is line 136 the one you give above:- set smtp_host=smtp://u...@smtpout.secureserver.net:80 Do you have to replace "user" with your user name? When you type "mutt -v" at the prompt, do you get "+USE_SMTP" in the output, or do you get "-USE_SMTP"? If you get the latter you have not compiled mutt with SMTP support so it will not recognise smtp_host. You have the error message. You have the manual. Just search until you debug this problem.
