Re: sample muttrc file for AOL email...
No, Gmail no longer allows Mutt to be used for it. Google considers it to be a "less secure app." Hence, they do not allow Mutt to be used with it. I have tried and have failed since Google made that change to Gmail. On 4/13/23 04:31, D.J.J. Ring, Jr. wrote: No, mutt can use Gmail because mutt has Oauth support built in. It's a bit complicated but you can search for instructions. That's the preferred way to use mutt with Gmail as the other method "app specific passwords" will eventually be phased out. Please do not write me again, write to the email list. Your questions will help many but only if they're sent to the email list. Thank you.

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.

Does anyone, by any chance, happen to have a sample .muttrc file that I could use for AOL email? And no, I do not want a conversation or a lecture, just a sample .muttrc file that I could use for AOL email. Thank you very much!
