Hello Nishka,

You don't need to follow this format of responding to emails. Just respond inline.

My response to your email is as follows: I followed the instructions at
OutreachyfirstpatchSetup and Outreachyfirstpatch at Linux kernel
newbies. The instructions said to "say 'no' to creating an inbox for
now". That is what I did. If I send an email to myself from within mutt
(using the "m" command) it shows up in the inbox; but no other email
sent to my account is visible. (Up until now I have been viewing emails
and responses in a browser and composing replies in vim.)

In accordance with the instructions, my muttrc file contains the
following lines:
set sendmail="/usr/bin/esmtp"
set envelope_from=yes
set from="Nishka Dasgupta <nishka....ashoka.edu.in>"
set use_from=yes
set edit_headers=yes

My smtp and git appear to be set up fine, since those are how I have
been sending emails so far. However, I don't know how to ensure that
emails sent to my email account show up in mutt. How can I address this?


So you are able to send emails but not receive them? Is that all your muttrc file contains? Have you also made a .esmtprc file?
You could try setting up mutt with smtp by searching google for .muttrc configuration files that use smtp.

Thank you for your time.

Regards,
Nishka Dasgupta
