Installing mutt-kz on Ubuntu

on in Other

I’ve started experimenting with mutt. I like mutt but it’s a bit conservative. There are a lot of good patches for mutt floating on the web that aren’t beging added to the mutt core project.

For example: mutt sidebar, notmutch and the mutt trashfolder patch.

The mutt-patched package on Ubuntu adds a lot of these patches but not all. I found mutt-kz and installed it to see if could replace mutt-patched.

sudo apt-get install libtool libgpgme11-dev libnotmuch-dev libsasl2-dev libtokyocabinet-dev libidn11-dev

./prepare \
    --prefix=$HOME/.local \ --sysconfdir=/etc \
    --enable-gpgme \
    --enable-hcache \
    --enable-imap \
    --enable-notmuch \
    --enable-pgp \
    --enable-pop \
    --enable-smtp \
    --with-idn \
    --with-sasl \
    --with-ssl=/usr

After playing with it a bit I decided to stick with mutt-patched. mutt-kz didn’t really add all that mutch. If the fix for the sidebar sorting problem of mailboxes gets added I will maybe change to mutt-kz.
