allright so i took out the spaces
 i type: <mutt> in the terminal and i get

Error in /home/tc/.mutt/muttrc, line 13: stmp_url: unknown variable
Error in /home/tc/.mutt/muttrc, line 14: :587/: unknown command
source: errors in /home/tc/.mutt/muttrc
Press any key to continue..


so I press any key. then it asks me to accept or reject certs
I press a to accept always then it says could not save certs
then closes the connection

I'm pretty lost

i think i've got it all good excpept for telling mutt how to save certs and wich adress and port for stmp
of course i could use claws or just my web browser but i'd like to save system resources

also any advice on how to use mplayer.cli for optical media would be awesome
cdparanoia to rip and then mplayer to play is pretty simple but id like to save my self some time and just play cd's directly if possible

...
set stmp_url = 'smtps://smtp.gmail.com:587

Change them into this :

Code: [Select]

set smtp_url = "smtps://smtp.gmail.com@(your gmail):587/"See this : https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/296810/syntax-of-smtp-url-in-muttrc

please spare the insults. I realize what i did  by posting my info.
i'll check back in a few days once im done feeling sorry for myself.
I realize that mutt is ussually for system admins and i'm just making it hard on myself by not using a graphical email client. i bought a old machine to tinker with and i'm kinda forcing myself to learn command line before i get a newer faster laptop.

[Iowa_Nate]

ok well according to mutt -v
smtp is not enabled when compiled. I shall attempt to compile it with smtp or posibly there is a config file

[Juanito]

Are you speaking of the version in Core (32-bit) or CorePure64 (64-bit)?

[Iowa_Nate]

the 32 bit version.
i'm very new to all this and i figured I may as well learn something so i downloaded the newest version off of mutt.org and honestly it took me the whole day off and on to do it but i configured and compiled it for 5.4.3-tinycore 32 bit version. I had a previous muttrc file from before so its working great now.
I struggled a bit with the syntax and the configure script seemed to be kinda picky as far as the order in wich the arguments were added. it was just a matter of deciding wich features i wanted and defining the path correctly for the various libs. it took me awhile to figure out what header files were and how to find my host and build names. that one frustrated me for quite awhile

after a day of scouring websites and trying different things ive got it working with pop,smtp,ssl,sasl and eventually i'll figure out pgp.

after watching the script run and fail a bazillion times i now have a pretty good understanding of how things work. it was pretty cool to watch "make install"  do its thing, linking all the various libs together.  now when I download a lib file, i have a small understanding of its purpose.
i think i'll try and tackle scrummvm next

Nice!  I liked mutt a lot.

I used to run mutt with SLRN as my usenet newsgroup reader.  Too bad most of that is spam these days.
