 All right, what's up everyone? I'm a little hype. I recently figured out a good configuration for my mud So mud is a terminal email client. I'm pulling it up right now Here we go So mud is notorious for being a little difficult to modify once you first got it But it's extremely powerful, and I'm now at the point where it's my primary Email client. I do have Thunderbird installed on this machine, but I don't really even need it anymore So once you get into it, it has a pretty pretty basic display You can change pretty much everything about it. So if I open my mud RC down here, you'll notice. Let's see So, you know, I have it by reverse date. I use Vim as an editor You can change when it updates with the timeout and mail check commands And you can set like the date format and the index format all that kind of stuff like that And then also if you have Neo mud, I have Neo mud. It allows you like a little more customizability So like you notice all the senders are in red, you know, all the titles are in teal You can do that in Neo mud doesn't work on vanilla mud, but you should might as well install in Neo mud I've made some like general modifications like D is down a page. You was up a page So to making it more Vim like for my perspective And then well, let's go ahead and talk about how it works. You might know already. So in his mail Let's say I want to mail to One of my other email accounts Just put it in Subject subject And then it'll open up whatever your text editor is minus Vim and you can go ahead and type your message this is message And You just save the file and then press Y and putting your password Also on the screen you can press like a to attach an image your file or something like that So yeah, you can do pretty much Putting in the wrong password So yeah, I mean it works pretty much just like any other Email client just in the terminal, but the thing is so let's talk about some of the customization I have Now the nice thing about mud RC is that you can source other files in it So a lot of people won't just have one mud RC. They'll actually have like a bunch of sub You know Configuration files where they have specific settings. So by default it caught mine calls this file Which is really the configs for my Gmail account here. They are over here And I also have some like specific Macros specific to it. I think I got these from gobbledo. He has a video on mud, which is pretty good But yeah, so the these are like for changing to different folders. So let's say I want to change my sending folder I'll like change to any other It works pretty much as you'd expect now the thing the reason I have these in here and not in the mud RC is just because These are like specific to your folder structure. So on a different email account, you might have different folder structures So you won't you'll for your different emails. You're gonna want to have different macros for these But yeah, that's that let me actually let's log on to another email So down here. I also got these from gobbledo's video on it He has some Basically macros that sync the mailbox and then switch the source file to another email So K will do that that'll switch the email. I sent that mail to you before I think that's my password Yeah, so there's our email So, yeah, that's nice but one of the big deal breakers for me originally when I started using mud is that Like it was really hard to type out all the email addresses. I wanted to send stuff too So specifically I might want to send like about an email out to like all of my students And I have lots of them and it's a it'd be a pain to like type all the email addresses in But one of the nice things you can do is have aliases So here I source different aliases this alias file and here I have a bunch of them listed out So let's say I want to email someone on this. Let's say I want to email Ryan So I have his alias. I don't want to type out his entire email. So instead I've aliased it to just Ryan. So if I'm in mud, I can just say Ryan and then you know email LMAO your Shit can't write today famous So yeah, and you see it'll actually put his to email I mean his actual address in there even though I don't have to type it out now What does that have to do with like sending? Let's go ahead and send it to you He'll see it eventually he'll be like what the hell is this so let's say And you can do the same thing with You know like groups of people so let's say I want to send something to Ryan and Trevor and you know lots of other people You can really just say alias and then a group and you can like list out different emails like Billy at Gmail comma You know Sandra at gmail Dot com comma blah blah blah blah blah so you can actually just list out emails and sequence And whenever you type the keyword it'll automatically like send it to all of those people So that's one of the reason I mean that was sort of like once I hit that I was like oh god now I can do everything I really need to So let's see any other recommendations. I will say one thing I send everything in plain text a lot of people will be tempted to send everything as HTML because you know in HTML you can like do different colors I will just say it's a little more difficult to do that than you might think I put a lot of effort into like getting the formatting right, but yeah, you can send in a message as an email Or as a HTML file, but once you like get it back You'll have to like convert it and you'll have to have some way of doing that So I recommend just having everything in plain text Aside from that You really should just jump into this thing because it's I don't even need a thunder Actually, you know what? Let's let's just uninstall Thunderbird. We don't even need it anymore. Don't even need it Well technically I have I stuff not Thunderbird, but you know the same thing just get rid of it Look at that 80 gigs or 80 megs 80 gigs. That would be enormous. Well. Anyway, I don't have to deal with that anymore So yeah, that's mutt now. Here's the thing. I'm not done with mutt at all There are a couple other things I'm trying to get working soon. One of them is mobile iMaps So that'll let me like Basically have all my mail offline I'm still trying to work it out the kinks with that and there are some other things. I want to have like Notification scripts. I'm still working on that as well, but yeah, I'll put up a video when I do oh and by the way I'm gonna have a video. I'm working on scripts now just For installing my rice a lot of people have asked. Oh, yeah We are you gonna do a video showing us how to rice the computer to get you know exactly your conflicts I'm actually gonna put up some scripts soon And they're gonna have all of that stuff in it so you can basically just take a Raw install of arch and run the scripts and you'll get everything so that that's coming in the near future But there's well anyway. Thanks for watching. See you guys around
