Hi David,

It's pretty simple. You'll want the following in your .muttrc:

set from="Your Name <email.address at gmail.com>"
set realname="Your Name"
set imap_user=email.address at gmail.com
set folder="imaps://imap.gmail.com:993"
set spoolfile="+INBOX"
set postponed="+[Gmail]/Drafts"
set trash = "imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Trash"
set smtp_url="smtps://email.address\@gmail.com@smtp.gmail.com"
set imap_pass="supersecretpassword"
set smtp_pass="supersecretpassword"

That should be enough to get you the bare essentials. If you've enabled two-factor authentication (I recommend you do!), then you should go to myaccount.google.com and generate an app password and use that for imap_pass and smtp_pass instead of your real password.

HTH!
