In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps necessary to install Mutt on Fedora CoreOS Latest using the command-line interface.
Before you begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Firstly, open up a terminal window on your Fedora CoreOS Latest. You can do this by pressing CTRL + ALT + T.
Next, update the system using the dnf package manager by executing the following command:
sudo dnf update -y
Now, it's time to install Mutt. Use the following command to install Mutt on Fedore CoreOS Latest:
sudo dnf install mutt
This command will install Mutt along with all of its dependencies.
Once the installation is complete, you can verify that Mutt was installed correctly by executing the following command:
mutt -v
This command will display the version of Mutt that you have installed on your system.
To configure Mutt, you need to create a configuration file in your home directory called .muttrc. Type the following command to create the file:
touch ~/.muttrc
Next, open the file using the text editor of your choice. We'll use vi in this example:
vi ~/.muttrc
Add the following lines of code:
set from = your_email@example.com
set realname = "Your Name"
set imap_user = your_username
set imap_pass = your_password
set smtp_url = "smtp://smtp.example.com:587/"
set smtp_pass = your_smtp_password
set imap_check_subscribed
set folder = imaps://imap.example.com/
set spoolfile = +INBOX
set postponed = +Drafts
set header_cache =~/.mutt/cache/headers
set message_cachedir =~/.mutt/cache/bodies
set editor = /usr/bin/vim
Make sure to replace the example values with your own information.
You can now test Mutt by sending an email to yourself. Type the following command:
echo "Hello, World!" | mutt -s "Test Email" your_email@example.com
Of course, replace your_email@example.com with your actual email address.
This concludes our tutorial on how to install and configure Mutt on Fedora CoreOS Latest using the command-line interface. With Mutt now installed, you can start sending and receiving emails from your terminal window.
