This is useful for reading, writing, replying to, saving, and deleting your email. &lfs81_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &mutt-md5sum; Download size: &mutt-size; Estimated disk space required: &mutt-buildsize; Estimated build time: &mutt-time; Mutt Dependencies Optional , , , , , libgssapi, , , Mixmaster, an (that provides a sendmail command), , or , or QDBM or Tokyo Cabinet Optional (To Regenerate HTML Documentation) and either , , or ELinks Optional (To Generate PDF Manual) , , and (or ) User Notes: Installation of Mutt Mutt requires a group named mail. You can add this group, if it does not exist, with this command: groupadd -g 34 mail If you did not install an , you need to modify the ownership of /var/mail with this command: chgrp -v mail /var/mail Mutt will rebuild the html documentation if libxslt is present, then use that to update the text manual - even if none of the specified browsers are present. That will create an empty text file, so we will save the shipped file. Install Mutt by running the following commands: cp -v doc/manual.txt{,.shipped} && ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --with-docdir=/usr/share/doc/mutt-&mutt-version; \ --enable-external-dotlock \ --enable-pop \ --enable-imap \ --enable-hcache \ --enable-sidebar && make && test -s doc/manual.txt || mv -v doc/manual.txt{.shipped,} To generate the PDF manual with , run the following command: make -C doc manual.pdf This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: make install If you generated the PDF manual, install it by issuing the following command as the root user: install -v -m644 doc/manual.pdf \ /usr/share/doc/mutt-&mutt-version; If you used a DESTDIR method to only install to a temporary location as a regular user (as part of a package menagement process), you will need to run the following as the root user after completing the real install: chown root:mail /usr/bin/mutt_dotlock && chmod -v 2755 /usr/bin/mutt_dotlock Command Explanations --enable-external-dotlock: In some circumstances the mutt-dotlock program is not created. This switch ensures it is always created. --enable-pop: This switch enables POP3 support. --enable-imap: This switch enables IMAP support. --enable-hcache: This switch enables header caching. --enable-sidebar: This switch enables support for the sidebar (a list of mailboxes). It is off by default, but can be turned on by :set sidebar_visible in mutt (and off again with ':unset'), or it can be enabled in ~/.muttrc. : This switch enables SMTP relay support. : This parameter adds SSL/TLS support from in POP3/IMAP/SMTP if they are enabled. : This parameter adds authentication support from in POP3/IMAP/SMTP if they are enabled. Depending on the server configuration, this may not be needed for POP3 or IMAP. However, it is needed for SMTP authentication. test -s doc/manual.txt || mv -v doc/manual.txt{.shipped,}: if the text manual is now empty (libxslt is installed, but without any of the specified text browsers), restore it from the copy.
