I use mutt with gmail IMAP and the following flags: [ebuild R] mail-client/mutt-1.5.23-r5 USE="berkdb crypt gdbm gpg imap kerberos nls sasl smime smtp ssl -debug -doc -gnutls -idn -mbox -nntp -pop -qdbm (-selinux) -sidebar -slang -tokyocabinet" 0 kB I think the most important ones for gmail are imap, smtp, and ssl. I believe imap and smtp are off by default, at least they were when I first installed mutt, my package use flags are: mail-client/muttsasl gpg imap smime smtp 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 email. I don't think I needed sasl but left it there in case someday I wanted to play with kerberos auth. Relevant lines from my muttrc are: set smtp_url="smtp://@gmail@smtp.gmail.com:587/" set folder="imaps://imap.gmail.com/" set imap_user="@gmail.com" unset record set postponed="imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Drafts" set spoolfile="=INBOX" set header_cache="$HOME/.mutt/header_cache/gmail" It works reasonably well. My main complaint is that it fairly regularly drops my persistant connection and I need to reconnect. That's most annoying when I just went through 100 emails and deleted many, and it drops the connection before the delete has been synced :(. Other than that it works fine. We recently switched to office365 at work, and it has the same problem with dropped imap connections. I'm not sure if they just both occasionally boot annoying imap users who have hung out too long or if mutt has issues with imap over a possibly flaky remote connection. Good luck...

I experienced the same problem, but this was more pronounced on IMAP accounts with many thousands of email messages (more than 100,000). That said, Kmail2 has the same problem, only on less powerful machines you also get the lag of mysql indexing everything again and again and again. Accounts with fewer messages were quite responsive on both mutt and Kmail2.

I run getmail to pull email off Gmail (pop.gmail.com) via ssl on port 995. I.e. I treat Gmail like a regular ISP popmail account. I also use mutt to send email (via ssmtp). I have some ancient archived email in mbox format, so I build it with "gpg mbox pop smime smtp ssl". -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
Re: [gentoo-user] Mutt emerge USE flags for novice
Interesting. When I used IMAP in Mutt, rather than offlineimap, I was really frustrated by the constant lag within Mutt from syncing with the server. Offlineimap isn't the fastest ever at syncing either, but at least it happens all in one go, and then the full contents of all the emails I care about are on my local machine. I'd love to see your config to see if I can improve things.

Re: [gentoo-user] Mutt emerge USE flags for novice
I don't currently use Mutt with Gmail, but one common suggestion is to use an external program like offlineimap for handling syncing. I remember hearing that Mutt's IMAP support is not the best. The guide I followed to get set up initially is Steve Losh's The Homely Mutt, it's really quite good. http://stevelosh.com/blog/2012/10/the-homely-mutt/ Julian On 03/21, German wrote: > I am about to emerge Mutt and wanted to ask community what are the optimal > USE flags for novice.

Hi,
In the past, I used it with gmail. I did not change any flag with or
without gmail.
My mutt flags:
berkdb crypt debug doc gdbm gnutls gpg idn imap mbox nls pop sasl
sidebar smime smtp ssl -kerberos -nntp -qdbm -selinux -slang
-tokyocabinet
I use Maildir, therefore I think mbox flag is useless.
