From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How do I setup Neomutt with POP3 and an XDG path? (lemmy.ml)

Is this configuration what I'm looking for?

set pop_host = pops://username@mail.server.com:xxxx
set mbox_type=Maildir
set folder = "$XDG_CACHE_HOME"/mail  # default mailbox location
set spoolfile = +/  # unread or inbox
set mbox = +read
set record = +sent
set postponed = +drafts
set include  # a copy of the message you are replying

Are those folders created automatically or do they need to exist?

And what happens if I use this?

set pop_authenticators = "digest-md5"

Inspired by ask1234560/dotfiles_bspwm, rgaiacs/dotfiles, man page.

I've just learned about Mutt Wizard. Should I use that?

pop doesn't support folders, just an inbox. it's old and basic

mutt-wizard is quick and very clever and will probably give you a working config, but it can contain a lot of detail that you might not need or understand

oh, local folders. if you try to save to them, I think they should be created
