Mutt requires a group named 'mail'. You can add this group, if it does not exist, with this command:
groupadd mail |
If you did not install a MTA, such as Postfix-2.0.16 or Sendmail-8.12.10, you need to modify the ownership of /var/mail with this command:
chgrp mail /var/mail |
Install Mutt by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc && make && make install |
--sysconfdir=/etc: This installs the configuration files into /etc instead of /usr/etc.
/etc/Muttrc, ~/.muttrc, /etc/mime.types, ~/.mime.types
No changes in these files are necessary to begin using Mutt. When you are ready to make changes, the man page for muttrc is a good starting place.
In order to utilize GnuPG, use the following command:
cat /usr/share/doc/mutt/samples/gpg.rc >> ~/.muttrc |
