Using Mutt as an Imap Client
in your .muttrc, the relevant lines are:
set folder=imap://dave@apollo
set spoolfile="imap://dave@apollo/INBOX"
Perhaps you have been given a username like
dave.mackintosh@xdroop.com; your mail server is
voyager.xdroop.com; and you are using IMAPS instead of regular IMAP. In this case you need to make your specification as so:
set imap_force_ssl=yes
set imap_authenticators="LOGIN"
set imap_keepalive=60
set folder="imap://dave.mackintosh%xdroop.com@voyager.xdroop.com:993"
set imap_user=dave.mackintosh@voyager.xdroop.com
set spoolfile="imap://dave.mackintosh%xdroop.com@voyager.xdroop.com:993/INBOX"
