Hi,
Since we discussed all about the outreachyfirstpatchalt only and you
also suggested not to modify it for now. I want to clarify that whether we are working on these below changes for the "outreachyfirstpatch". I am again mentioning them below.
1. The outreachy document does not include the steps to make the inbox with mutt. The steps below can be added to configure mutt with gmail.
- Open the ~/.muttrc
- Add the information
set sendmail="/usr/bin/esmtp"
set envelope_from=yes
set from="Your Name <my.email@gmail.com>"
set use_from=yes
set edit_headers=yes
# IMAP settings
set imap_user = "username@gmail.com"
set imap_pass = "<mailbox password>"
# SMTP settings
set smtp_url = "smtps://username@smtp.gmail.com"
set smtp_pass = "<mailbox password>"
# Remote Gmail folders
set folder = "imaps://imap.gmail.com/"
set spoolfile = "+INBOX"
set postponed = "+[Gmail]/Drafts"
set record = "+[Gmail]/Sent Mail"
set trash = "+[Gmail]/Trash"
- Where the imap_pass, smtp_pass would be the App password or
the mailbox password.
Regards,
Sumitra

I want to clarify that whether we are working on these below changes for the "outreachyfirstpatch". I am again mentioning them below. In https://kernelnewbies.org/Outreachyfirstpatch, there is a section called Set up email. This is followed by some sections related to gmail, yahoo, etc. So you could find the best place around there for the new information. It could be nice to use some subsections, so that one can easily identify the complete section about email. I notice also that there seems to be randomly "set up" and "setup". I have the impression that "set up" is a verb and "setup" is a noun., so it should be "Set up vim as your default editor" (not Setup...) and it should be "Gmail setup" (not Gmail set up). thanks, julia > > 1.

The existing text about sending mesages with mutt says: identity "my.email@gmail.com" hostname smtp.gmail.com:587 username "my.email@gmail.com" password "ThisIsNotARealPassWord" starttls required Why not put "ThisIsNotARealPassWord" in your text as well, if that is what you expect people to do? That is, when you put something in quotes, the reader doedn't know whether they are supposed to put exactly the thing that you have put in the quotes or something else. I guess that for eg "smtps://username@smtp.gmail.com" they should fill in their real username. But for "<mailbox password>" it is not clear what is expected. julia ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

But for "<mailbox password>" it > is not clear what is expected. > ### Configure MTA Note: These instructions assume you're using esmtp, but if you already have another mail transfer agent (MTA) installed, you do not need to install esmtp. Instead, change the .muttrc file "sendmail" line to be the path to your MTA. Mutt uses ssmtp by default, so if your MTA is ssmtp, you can leave that line out entirely. First, create a .esmtprc file with the right permissions: touch ~/.esmtprc chmod g-rwx ~/.esmtprc chmod o-rwx ~/.esmtprc Edit the .esmtprc in your home directory, and add lines like this: identity "my.email@gmail.com" hostname smtp.gmail.com:587 username "my.email@gmail.com" password "ThisIsNotARealPassWord" starttls required (For Yahoo mail, replace hostname line with: hostname smtp.mail.yahoo.com:587 Next, set up the mail client, mutt, with some defaults, by creating a .muttrc file in your homedirectory: Note: The imap_pass, smtp_pass would be the App password or the mailbox password. set sendmail="/usr/bin/esmtp" set envelope_from=yes set from="Your Name <my.email@gmail.com>" set use_from=yes set edit_headers=yes # IMAP settings set imap_user = "username@gmail.com" set imap_pass = "<ThisIsNotARealPassWord>" # SMTP settings set smtp_url = "smtps://username@smtp.gmail.com" set smtp_pass = "<ThisIsNotARealPassWord>" # Remote Gmail folders set folder = "imaps://imap.gmail.com/" set spoolfile = "+INBOX" set postponed = "+[Gmail]/Drafts" set record = "+[Gmail]/Sent Mail" set trash = "+[Gmail]/Trash" ### Regards, Sumitra > julia ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread
