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 10:53:46 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 at 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 at 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
