Tips for mutt and netbsd on run box



Hello everyone,

I recently got Mutt working on my NetBSD 11, 
mutt 2.4.2 (2026-08-30), and I thought I would share the 
essential parts of my .muttrc configuration in case
they might be useful to someone else. I use runbox.com
for mail deliver its easy to find the app-password if you
register an account there, 30 days free and if you use their
mini its not expensive. My setup allows me to read and send 
mail from the commandline. I have also configured colors
but I leave them out here. Mail me if you want to see
that configuration too.
I have my app-password in .muttpass so it wouldnt show up here :-)
I hope this can be useful to other NetBSD users, especially
those who enjoy working inte command line. I asked three 
AI-robots but they couldnt fix the setup. Chat GPT, grok and 
google AI. They set the directorys wrong

Best regards from Sweden
