Mutt is a small but very powerful text-based mail client for Unix operating systems. Msmtp is a smtp client which is available for Linux as well as windows.
Configuring mutt to work with msmtp is fortunately quite easy. Here’s a tutorial teaching the same.
Step 1:
Find the executable path of msmtp:

which msmtp

Step 2:
Just open ~/.muttrc using a text editor and add the following code to it:

send2-hook '~f [email protected]' 'set sendmail="PATH"'

Replace PATH with the executable path of msmtp and replace [email protected] to the FROM address you want in your email address to appear. For me the code looks like the following (on Ubuntu 10.10):

send2-hook '~f [email protected]' 'set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp"'

Try sending a mail with mutt and it should succeed.

Cheers!

I often accidentally delete some of the icons from my top panel including battery meter, volume control, messagin icon. It gets quite frustrating not having them there. Also, you cannot get them back using Add to Panel option.

You can easily get your panel with default settings back. Just follow the following steps:

• Press Alt+F2, type ‘gnome-terminal’ without quotes and press enter.
• Now execute the following command in the terminal:
  

  gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel

• Now execute the following command in terminal to remove all the panel’s settings: Read the rest of this entry »
