mutt 1.05 TLS socket terminated?
Since I posted this problem, I did a apt-get update for other reasons and the tls problem seems to have disappeared. (So far anyhow) Tom Fowle WA6IVG Using mutt 1.5.23 with Debian 8 jessie. I am getting the following problem while reading messages. approximately: "The TLS socket was improperly terminated. can not copy messages." This appears on the screen for only just long enough for my screen reader to grab it but dissappears before I can copy or check it.. I then have the usual top line menu and a blank screen. Being simplistic by nature I just exit mutt and restart but all messages which have been marked for deletion remain in the inbox and unless i have kept carefull track of the last read message number before the TLS error I have to trundle through all the previously read messages till I find the first unmarked message. This problem is becomming more frequent, often two occurrences in a hundred message session. Before I get into just updating mutt and debian as the most likely resolutions, would like to know if this is a known problem and whether the mutt or "OS" updates are more likely to fix it. PLS don't yell at me for not being up to date, I hate updating. So now I'm paying the price. TNX Tom Fowle WA6IVG

According to the configure script it appears all you need for color is start_color() from ncurses which should be there in the base system. Can you provide 'mutt -v' output? Does it have +HAVE_COLOR? Are you building mutt from source or using ports/pkg? If so can you provide the output off 'pkg info -f mutt' > So the terminal is doing color as expected, but somehow mutt/neomutt > doesn't seem to recognize that.

I'm doing nothing special in ports/pkg or from source and colors just works with macOS Terminal/iTerm2, or cygwin xterm. Do you get color unknown command when you try to use 'color ...' in a .muttrc?

Yes, those macros work and do so silently. Thanks for the macros and the idea to bind stuff to the comma key. I hadn't thought of that one before.

Re: Simple muttrc file for accessing Gmail imap
Yes. Just tested and confirmed as I don't use mutt as much as I used to do.

mutt is set up to download pop3 but has no keyboard shortcut to download imap or didn't the last time I went through its documentation. On Sat, 24 Aug 2019, D.J.J.

Re: Simple muttrc file for accessing Gmail imap
Hello Jude, It's possible to access gmail and download messages by adding imap locations and NOT use a mail transport program. Everything is set up within the muttrc file. Burt Henry of the Vinux Wiki. Mutt vs. Alpine. http://wiki.vinuxproject.org/alpine_mutt Mutt Configuration and Basic Use. http://wiki.vinuxproject.org/mutt_configuration_and_basic_use He manages to do this just in muttrc. Here's the section of muttrc, ##Account Specific Settings # Change the following six lines to match your Gmail account details #And Uncomment and edit if YOU DO NOT WANT to USE ENCRYPTED PASSWD. #And comment out the top section that does the PW encryption. set imap_user = "gmail_han...@gmail.com" #set imap_pass = "my_PW" set smtp_url = "smtp://gmail_han...@smtp.gmail.com:587/" #set smtp_pass = "my_PW" set from = "gmail_han...@gmail.com" set realname = "My Name" # Change the following line to a different editor you prefer. set editor = "nano" ## GMail Config #(most of this should work with other IMAP accounts) ## Basic config, you can leave this as is in most cases # Not sure if timeout and keepalive value tweaking will help intermittent connection issues # (time values are in seconds) set wait_key = no set folder = "imaps://imap.gmail.com:993" set spoolfile = "+INBOX" set imap_check_subscribed set hostname = gmail.com set mail_check = 180 set timeout = 300 # Allow Mutt to open new imap connection automatically. unset imap_passive # Keep IMAP connection alive by polling intermittently set imap_keepalive = 210 set postponed = "+[GMail]/Drafts" set record = "+[GMail]/Sent Mail" set header_cache=~/.mutt/cache/headers set message_cachedir=~/.mutt/cache/bodies set certificate_file=~/.mutt/certificates set alias_file=~/.mutt/aliases set move = no set include set sort = 'threads' set sort_aux = 'reverse-last-date-received' set auto_tag = yes ## Reminds you of missing subject or empty body with msg sent as default set abort_nosubject = ask-no set abort_unmodified = ask-no ignore "Authentication-Results:" ignore "DomainKey-Signature:" ignore "DKIM-Signature:" hdr_order Date From To Cc alternative_order text/plain text/html * auto_view text/html This is from page: http://wiki.vinuxproject.org/muttrc Unfortunately, there are errors in his delightfully easy gpg configuration, and sometimes he has googlemail instead of gmail and googlemail no longer works for me in this muttrc. There is also a more elaborate muttrc file with more features, but maybe the same errors, I'm going through it step by step and writing down the errors. Since I have access to the Vinux Wiki I will upload the corrections as soon as I make sure they are correct.

I think I can help there, only thing is mine has the mutt blind-friendly options in it. On Sat, 24 Aug 2019, D.J.J. Ring, Jr. wrote: > Date: Sat, 24 Aug 2019 10:09:48 > From: "D.J.J.

Simple muttrc file for accessing Gmail imap
For some blind and visually impaired users graphical user interfaces are as frustrating as a game of blindfolded archery. Does anyone have a simple good example of a muttrc file that can access gmail imap email by just changing "username" to your real user name and "password" to your real password? Thanks, David
