Notes on my mutt setup
(Note that port 465 might be the usual, but fastmail uses 565 to allow stripping the ip.)

You’ll want to set spoolfile
, record
, and postponed
, which are like INBOX
, Sent
and Drafts
. You can use folder
variable to shorten repetitive paths, then =
or +
will expand to folder
, for example,
set folder = "~/Maildir/"
set spoolfile = "+INBOX"
set record = "+Sent"
set postponed = "+Drafts"
Some config I had I think prefers plain text or something.
