@Jojo: Great idea. I was actually just thinking about how I was going to set up that functionality. Hadn’t got to the google-searching part of the process so you just saved me some time! Thanks!

Great article. Looks a lot like my setup. One thing you should consider to complete your workflow is msmtp-enqueue so you can “send” emails from mutt even if you’re offline.

Hey Greg – thanks for the article. I was able to get up and running with mutt, offlineimap, msmtp, and abook across multiple gmail accounts.

Much appreciated!

Great post, thank you for sharing.
I would replace the “$1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9″ list in smtpforward.sh with “$@”, so that you do not need to know how many arguments will be there (just in case).

@John: Thanks for the comment. I actually added those comments in only for the version I put online (iow: it was untested). I just checked the version I have running myself and it does not included those inline comments.

My bad :)

Thanks for this, really useful!

I had a bit of a problem with the offlineimaprc which I copied from you as it didn’t like the inline comments like:
autorefresh = 10 # minutes until next sync

It seems fine if the whole line is a comment though, like:
#### GMAIL Account Settings ####

Hope that’s of use to anyone setting this up!

John.
