2017-12-21 NOTE: The wiki has been ported over from trac, and is in the process of being cleaned up.

This is the primary starting point for the Mutt Wiki.

Mutt is a Mail User Agent, see MailConcept for what that is and is not. Feel free to add information to these pages, become an efficient WikiWorker!

Documentation outside of this wiki can be found on the mutt home page: http://www.mutt.org/#doc

• Download instructions: http://www.mutt.org/download.html
  
• By default pressing F1 loads the manual in mutt (unless your window manager eats F1).
  
  • Otherwise find your locally installed copy by executing this cmd: man mutt | grep manual.txt
    
  • If you can't find them locally (often at /usr/*/doc/mutt/manual.txt(.gz)), then use the manuals at http://www.mutt.org/#doc
