I will include mine inline here; I will plug out the passwords with
all X's but other than that, it will give you what I use. I have some
settings in there to reformat my status and index lines and I use
IMAP. you may wish to get your mail by more traditional means like
reading from the current spool on your system. This is used on one of
my local machines that gets mail from my mail server, another machine
on my LAN. I urge you to read over the mutt docs to better understand
these options and more. That's what I did here and this file evolved
over time. In fact, I think the folder options such as spoolfile and
folder have valid logic defaults if not specified. You could probably
drop the user and password fields entirely if you aren't using an IMAP
server. Anyway, good luck.
