'mutt' issues

[Slade Watkins]

Hi all,
I've been wanting to switch from Thunderbird to 'mutt' when dealing with
emails for some time, but unfortunately, I've had numerous issues getting mutt
to actually load my inbox or any folders. I've tried getting it to cache them,
since I only get a small number of new ones each time, but it hasn't respected
the cache either.

At this rate, I've just gone back to Thunderbird even though it has its own
issues I wanted to get away from.

I feel like I might be doing something wrong here. Several Linux kernel
contributors are able to use this without issue, so I'm willing to bet it
might be user error.

Anyone here have any ideas? I'm open to suggestions!

Thanks,
-- Slade

While there may be some mutt expertise on the Fedora list,
you might consider posting to the mutt-users list.  Not
high volume, but high expertise.  Here are the list headers
from a recent post:

List-Id: <mutt-users.mutt.org>
   List-Unsubscribe: http://lists.mutt.org/mailman/options/mutt-users,
         
   List-Archive: http://lists.mutt.org/pipermail/mutt-users/
   List-Post: 
   List-Help: 
   List-Subscribe: http://lists.mutt.org/mailman/listinfo/mutt-users,
         
   Errors-To: [e-mail]

I've been a L-O-N-G time mutt user.  So I can say it works
reliably under Fedora and several other environments.

When posting your question make it a bit more meaningful
than "my car doesn't work, what am I doing wrong?".

Describe your environment, what you have tried and what
happens including any error or log messages.  Perhaps
check how TB accesses your email and include that info.

I've gotten it working under Pop!_OS with no real issue, so I think it's a 'me
problem' that the mutt-users list might be able to point out to me.

yeah, I'm going to include my config and all the information you state. I
regret I didn't do that here. That's on me.

Thanks again,
