#Mutt Configuration

My configuration has the following features:

• Configured for using Gmail
• Support for GnuPG
• Intelligent use of colour for highlighting email headers and URLs etc

I've used The Mutt E-Mail Client since 1996 and it is by-far the greatest email client ever written. After recently using it to easily transfer several thousands old emails into gmail this is the setup I used - you'll have to change this to your details but it serves as a good example.

##Forward local mail to Gmail If you have a local SMTP server setup you can create a file in your home directory to forward all email to another account, e.g.

~/ $ cat > .forward
[email protected]
