+Using mutt with IMAP
+====================
+
+configuration
+-------------
+
+First, mutt needs to be told to use IMAP. To achieve this, edit '~/.muttrc' (or
+a file it 'source's) to contain:
+
+---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+set spoolfile=imap://user@hostname/INBOX
+set folder=imap://user@hostname/
+---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+problems
+--------
+
+Move read messages to mbox
+--------------------------
+
+If mutt asks 'Move read messages to /home/$user/mbox? ([no]/yes):'
+
+Your alternatives (to set in '~/.muttrc') are (pick one and ignore the others):
+
+ 1. don't ask about moving messages, just do it:
+
+ ---%<---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ set move=yes
+ ---%<---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ 2. don't ask about moving messages and _don't_ do it:
+
+ ---%<---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ set move=no
+ ---%<---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ 3. ask about moving message, default answer 'yes':
+
+ ---%<---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ set move=ask-yes
+ ---%<---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ 4. ask about moving message, default answer 'no':
+
+ ---%<---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ set move=ask-no
+ ---%<---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+New mail in a folder just left
+------------------------------
+
+There is a bug with dovecot in <=0.99. It can sometimes make mutt think there
+is new email in a mailbox you just
+'left'...https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2004-February/002950.html
+
+Authentication realm
+--------------------
+
+If you are using IMAP with SASL and get error messages like 'Invalid realm' in
+your dovecot log files, try putting this in your '.muttrc' or '/etc/Muttrc]':
+
+---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+set imap_authenticators="plain"
+---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+It might be easier however to just put the following in your 'dovecot.conf':
+
+For Dovecot 1.0:
+ ---%<-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ auth default {
+ mechanisms = plain
+ }
+ ---%<-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+For Dovecot 0.99:
+ ---%<-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ auth_mechanisms = plain
+ ---%<-----------------------------------------------------------------------
