This is what I have:
set mbox_type=Maildir
set folder="~/mail"
set mask="!^\\.[^.]"
mailboxes "+inbox" # ~/mail/inbox
set record="+sent" # ~/mail/sent
set postponed="+drafts" # etc.
set trash="+trash"
set realname="Plato"
set envelope_from=yes
set sendmail="msmtp -C /home/f/cfg/msmtp/msmtpall"
# msmtp is small, efficient and easy to configure
macro generic \e0 '<shell-escape>bash -ic "k echo Checking mail...; getmail -g
~/cfg/getmail -r getmailconf; echo over"<enter>'
# alt-0 to download messages
Mutt is a client, so you will have to configure msmtp and getmail yourself
(they are easy enough). If you need more help fire again in the mailing
list and please consider updating the wiki with your use case when
you succeed.
