I got as far as the assumption of POP3 for fetching mail and stopped reading TBH. Here was me hoping for some cool new guide about Mutt with Oauth or similar.

There is at least one IMAP client* that supports fetching mail (not syncing like most of them do), but POP3 has much wider selection of clients and serves that need perfectly. *: https://github.com/nicm/fdm https://github.com/nicm/fdm
- zwayhowder 4y agoEvery company I've worked at for the last decade at least has disabled POP3. I'm not saying it's right, I'm saying for a mail client to be useful in most orgs it needs to support IMAP (and these days Oauth2). Having just found the updated instructions for using Oauth2 with isync on the Arch wiki I know what I'll be doing this weekend :)

- BeetleB 4y agoI still use IMAP. I use fetchmail to fetch it. Ultimately, mutt is more of a MUA and not an MDA, so let some other tool deal with it. (I no longer use mutt, but use notmuch).
