Re: muttrc file for aol.com email?
I probably should have made note of where I heard it, but I don't go looking for trouble like in places like reddit, so it likely was a good source, but I didn't bookmark it, instead, I came here to get one of my other accounts working with mutt. Maybe they were wrong, I'm not panicking, I'm just trying to get a backup plan. There's lots of us who because of vision problems need text only keyboard driven email. If we could only get a text browser that would everywhere, life would be great. Best wishes, David On Mon, Dec 20, 2021, 22:45 John Hawkinson wrote: > On Mon, Dec 20, 2021 at 4:33 AM D.J.J.

This is a prett ystrong claim, and it is going to cause a lot of consternation and panic, whether it turns out to be true or mistaken. Can you please share some more information so we can figure out how to address it and how concerned to be? Is there supporting information? Is it a rumor? If rumor, what's the provenance? Heard from a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend? From a reliable source you can explain, etc? Thank you. -- jh...@alum.mit.edu John Hawkinson

Re: muttrc file for aol.com email?
That's the information I needed. I would have never guessed at " export.imap.aol.com". Also does mutt need an "app password"? I just heard gmail was going to become not compatible with mutt. How dare they? Thanks, David On Mon, Dec 20, 2021, 04:25 Greg Donoghue via Mutt-users < mutt-users@mutt.org> wrote: > On Sun, Dec 19, 2021 at 07:54:47PM -0500, D.J.J.

muttrc file for aol.com email?
Does anyone have a muttrc file that works for aol.com? I'm anticipating the big changes with gmail that will break mutt. Best to all, David
