Hi I have been trying for hours but cant get mutt working. I used configuration from different forums. They all made sense but neither work. Also, the mutt package availabe in official arch repo has no debugging support so I couldn't figure out what was going wrong. After some internet research and keen eyes on mutt's on-screen logs, I found that mutt was trying to authenticate plainly. Then I learnt about authenticators. I enabled these authenticators: set imap_authenticators=”digest-md5:gssapi:cram-md5:login” set smtp_authenticators=”digest-md5:gssapi:cram-md5:login” And now I am exhausted and , quite frankly, frustrated. The only logs generated by journalctl are: Feb 25 10:44:15 ARCH mutt[31322]: GSSAPI client step 1 Feb 25 10:44:37 ARCH mutt[31322]: DIGEST-MD5 common mech free Feb 25 10:45:04 ARCH mutt[31328]: GSSAPI client step 1 Feb 25 10:45:06 ARCH mutt[31328]: DIGEST-MD5 common mech free Feb 25 10:45:10 ARCH mutt[31329]: GSSAPI client step 1 Feb 25 10:45:12 ARCH mutt[31329]: DIGEST-MD5 common mech free Feb 25 10:45:40 ARCH mutt[31332]: DIGEST-MD5 common mech free Feb 25 10:48:29 ARCH mutt[31404]: DIGEST-MD5 common mech free Feb 25 10:48:45 ARCH mutt[31406]: GSSAPI client step 1 Feb 25 10:49:18 ARCH mutt[31406]: DIGEST-MD5 common mech free Feb 25 10:50:18 ARCH mutt[31421]: DIGEST-MD5 common mech free Feb 25 10:53:46 ARCH mutt[31530]: GSSAPI client step 1 Feb 25 10:53:49 ARCH mutt[31530]: DIGEST-MD5 common mech free FYI I have 'cyrus-sasl' and 'cyrus-sasl-gssapi' packages installed. My .muttrc: set imap_authenticators=”gssapi:digest-md5:cram-md5:login” set smtp_authenticators=”gssapi:digest-md5:cram-md5:login” set imap_user = “myemail@hotmail.com” set imap_pass = “mypassword" set smtp_url = smtp://smtp-mail.outlook.com:465 // Earlier, I tried port 587 set smtp_pass = “mypassword” set from = “myemail@hotmail.com” set realname = “Fulcrum” set ssl_force_tls = yes set ssl_starttls = yes set folder = imaps://imap-mail.outlook.com:993 set spoolfile = imaps://imap-mail.outlook.com/INBOX set header_cache=~/.mutt/cache/headers set message_cachedir=~/.mutt/cache/bodies set certificate_file=~/.mutt/certificates set move = no I tried using a gmail account; didnt work. I hope someone here could help me. Regards, Fulcrum
