Damn, I never thought getting help configuring Mutt for my AOL email
account would be such a big hassle. I used to use mutt for my Gmail
accounts, but Google, as you know, stopped allowing Gmail to be used
with Mutt. Configuring Mutt to be used with my Gmail accounts was as
easy as modifying my .muttrc file, nothing else. Why can't someone just
tell me what changes I need to make to my .muttrc file in order to use
my AOL email account with Mutt!? I copy & pasted the contents of my
.muttrc file to this email group, didn't I? Shouldn't it be as easy as
telling me what changes I need to make to my .muttrc file, just like I
did with my Gmail accounts? Instead, I get a whole bunch of hassle from
everyone. Leave it human beings to make things more complicated than
they should be!!! Damn!!! You know, the less I have humans involved
with my life, the less stress and fewer problems I have.

Yes, but you didn't tell them what it was and you posted an email
containing our back and forth which will be totally confusing to them.
I don't think because of that you'll get a response from them, but
they are a very exceptional group, so maybe they will take the time to
figure out what's going on. I personally doubt it.
You could have taken my suggestion but maybe you have more experience
with them.

Again, do NOT, NOT, NOT, send email to me send to
mutt-users@mutt.org and attach both files and tell them what they
are.

Oh, I thought you needed the output that's in the .log file
from executing that command. Okay, I'll then attach that
.log file to this email. Sorry about the misunderstanding.

Please send to mutt-users@mutt.org email so everyone can

Unless I'm not mistaken, the command Jude gave you produces
a file. That's what is needed, not the contents pasted into
an email message.
Please send again but send the email to mutt-users@mutt.org
Kind regards,

What we need are the errors.
Use the command that Jude posted, that will tell us
exactly what is wrong.
The muttrc file is not of much use, unless you want to
give us your email password to try mutt and find out
what the problem is.
Best wishes,

I'm at work right now, so I won't be able to copy &

Until I get off of work. I'll do that then.

I believe Storm Dragon's fleacollar supports AOL.

script URL
https://git.2mb.codes/~lilmike/fleacollar/blob/master/fleacollar.sh
Use wget to download this.
Then chmod fleacollar.sh to be executable and
run it and give all answers, including the
password and gpg questions, it won't make a gpg
for your email itself, it just protects your
passwords on your computer.

Does anyone, by any chance, happen to have

Thank you very much! 😁
