Well that is strange as this email is using mutt and a Google Workspace account and I'm guessing you're getting it fine (yes you do need an app password). ignore * unignore From: unignore To: unignore Reply-To: unignore Mail-Followup-To: unignore Subject: unignore Date: unignore Organization: unignore Newsgroups: unignore CC: unignore BCC: unignore Message-ID: unignore X-Mailer: unignore User-Agent: unignore X-Junked-Because: unignore X-SpamProbe: set realname = "Steve Karmeinsky" set from = "st...@gbnet.net" #set use_from = yes set envelope_from = yes set smtp_url = "smtp://st...@gbnet.net@smtp.gmail.com:587/" set smtp_pass="thisisverysecret" set imap_user = st...@gbnet.net set imap_pass="thisisverysecret" set imap_list_subscribed=yes set folder = "imaps://imap.gmail.com:993" set spoolfile = "+INBOX" set postponed = "+[Gmail]/Drafts" set trash = "=[Gmail]/Bin" #set trash = "+[Gmail]/Trash" #set trash = "+Trash" set ssl_force_tls = yes set ssl_starttls = yes set smtp_authenticators = "login" #set record="+[Gmail]/Sent Mail" set record="" # Activate caching, as it can greatly improve speed set header_cache = "~/.mutt/cache/headers" set message_cachedir = "~/.mutt/cache/bodies" set certificate_file=~/.mutt/certificates set mail_check = 30 set move = no set imap_keepalive = 900 Seems to work for me Steve -- NetTek Ltd UK mob +44 7775 755503 UK +44 20 3432 3735 / US +1 (650) 423 1390 social id stevekennedyuk Euro Tech News Blog http://eurotechnews.net

I would also like to convey thanks for all the hard work Kevin has put in over the years for a product I could not live without and use daily. I hope whatever Kevin is working on is a fruitful as mutt has been.

signature and alternates
This is my main email, but I have several alternates set-up. In .muttrc I have set signature=~/.signature set realname = "Steve Karmeinsky" set from = "st...@gbnet.net" my_hdr X-Organisation: NetTek Ltd I also have send-hook . 'unmy_hdr From:' send-hook . 'unmy_hdr X-Organisation:' send-hook . 'unmy_hdr Reply-to:' and then send-hooks with the overrides. The only thing not working properly is setting the signature back to normal after replying to an alternate.

GSuite
Might be useful for some folk using GSuite. I was struggling to get deleted emails actually deleted (they had various tags applied by GSuite/Gmail and wouldn't delete, so using something Mail.app on Mac you'd still see them - under Important). Anyway the following solved things set spoolfile = "+INBOX" set postponed = "+[Gmail]/Drafts" set trash = "=[Gmail]/Bin" and seems to be expected bahaviour (at least it works for me) Steve -- NetTek Ltd UK mob +44 7775 755503 UK +44 20 3432 3735 / US +1 (650) 423 1390 social id stevekennedyuk Euro Tech News Blog http://eurotechnews.blogspot.com
