Re: oauth2 with GMail?
Don't app-specific password act like second passwords and give full access to your Google account (not just mail)? If so the granularity of oauth access would make it the better choice. While you may need a GSuite (or whatever they call it now) account to create the project, once created it can be used outside that domain, including for a regular gmail account. I created one and use it for regular Gmail and for accounts across half a dozen Gsuite domains (school, work, nonprofit, personal, etc.) This email is being sent from Mutt using Oauth2.

Re: Mutt Gmail config
Gmail can be a bit complicated. There's more than one way to do it... None of the steps you mention have anything to do with Gmail. The ones addressing $MAIL will do nothing useful. The ones that talk about cache might, for some people, be helpful but have nothing to do with Gmail specifically. I'm using OAuth for authentication. It's fiddly to get set up but operation is simple. Without OAuth you have to use "less secure" or "app" passwords, and both have sufficient security concerns that I think using OAuth is worth the initial hassle. Also, if you have a free Gmail account, you probably can't use "less secure" passwords. This isn't the guide I used but it seems like it'd work: https://luxing.im/mutt-integration-with-gmail-using-oauth/ I have expurgated my main startup script and the two base muttrc file that I use for Gmail and put them here: https://www.hokan.org/MUTT-GMAIL/ - gmail-generic is the shell script I use to start mutt. The script helps me accommodate having around two dozen Gmail accounts (one free and the rest Google Workspace accounts). Note that the "passwords", the refresh tokens, are stored in and supplied by LastPass. - muttrc-generic contains all the Gmail-specific mutt config options. Because of the script some of the muttrc variables are set from shell variables. - muttrc-included-base contains mutt config stuff for all my accounts, not just the Gmail ones.

Cool! Looking at the release notes I wonder what is the difference between oauthbearer and xoauth2. I have oauth working with Gmail using oauthbearer. One motivation for switching, if xoauth2 also works with Gmail, is that the python script supporting oauthbearer is python2 (deprecated) and I don't have the python chops to upgrade the script.

Gmail, on the other hand, seems to use variable fonts. I found an option to default to fixed font but the columns in the quoted message still didn't line up. I guess that option is for composing messages?

My mistake: bang-path is a term for old-style mail routing. The term I should have used is "shebang".

I started mutt and got this on the status line: -- mutt_account_getoauthbearer: Command returned empty string -- My Mutt config runs the oauth2.py script to get the access token.

Perhaps after a year-and-a-half my access expired? I followed the process to get a new Refresh Token, replaced that in my Mutt config and I could read mail again. So, this turned out not to be a problem with Mutt, but with my Google account. -- Hokan Bicyclist Sysadmin signature.asc Description: PGP signature

X-Face: Header Interpretation
Hello Mutters,
For kicks, I thought I'd try making the X-Face header work and followed
the instructions here:
https://gitlab.com/muttmua/mutt/wikis/MuttGuide/XFace
I installed the needed programs from the FreeBSD Ports system.
I was able to create a header, but not view the image it contained. I
got this message from icontopbm:
"invalid sun icon file header: only 2 out of required 5 fields present".
Looking at the code for icontopbm it appears that we need more header
fields than is provided by the view-x-face script referred to by the Wiki
page. So I replaced this line in the script:
| { echo '/* Width=48, Height=48 */'; $UNCOMPFACE; } \
with this:
| { echo '/* Width=48, Height=48, Depth=1, Format_version=1,
Valid_bits_per_item=16 */'; $UNCOMPFACE; } \
and all worked.
Should I submit a bug report to suggest that the Mutt Wiki page be
updated to suggest this modification to the script?

Re: Can I do this (should I do this) with Mutt?
1. I have more than two dozen accounts, mostly Google. I don't deal with them in Mutt, but with a script that calls Mutt and provides necessary info for each account. Makes my Mutt config simpler, I think. The command "mutt" reads my work (non Google) email. I have one script for all my gmail accounts and link to that script with the name of each account so I can read only that one if I wish. My command "gmail-hokan.ho...@gmail.com" permits me to read email for the account I'm using to reply here. My command "gmail-generic" sequentially starts Mutt for each of 5 accounts I read often. My command "gmail-all" does the obvious. 3. set mail_check=60 4.

Re: Gmail + oauth2.py
Found it! It turns out that turning on TFA invalidates previous logins and tokens. I requested a new token and all is working.

Gmail + oauth2.py
I've got mutt working with oauth2.py for gmail. I can send and read mail. But ... I turned on two-factor authentication and now the oauth2.py script fails. Have you gotten mutt to work with the oauth2.py script with TFA turned on? How?
Re: SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:
This rejection is the result of the "percent hack" implimented on sendmail, postfix and, perhaps, other mail servers. Nothing to do with Mutt.

-z option not working for imap?
Hello Mutt Users, the -z option (quit if no messages) works for local mailboxes, but I can't get it to work with imap mailboxes. Am I missing something, or does it just not work with imap? -- Hokan Bicyclist Sysadmin signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: support of two factor authentication?
I use LastPass CLI to present my password. I have LastPass protected with 2FA. My .muttrc contains a line like this: set imap_pass="`/usr/local/bin/lpass show --password myname@mydomain || sleep 1`" and set smtp_pass=$imap_pass and that works for me. -- Hokan Bicyclist Sysadmin

Trash Folder Creation
Hello Mutt Users, My .muttrc file contains this line: set trash="+deleted-mutt/`date +%Y/%Y-%m`-deleted-mail" When I mark a message for deleting it is moved to an IMAP folder called (for example) deleted-mutt/2017-12-deleted-mail . Formerly, when I deleted the first email for a month, I was asked if I wanted the folder created, but for the last few releases deleted emails simply disappear if the trash folder does not already exist. Is this new behaviour a bug? If not, how can I automate creation of the monthly trash folder? -- Hokan Bicyclist Sysadmin
