Configuring mutt to work with gmail and yandex

Information used:

• This Gist by miguelmota
• Christoph Berg's Blog
• Mutt - ArchWiki

So, thanks to authors for ideas and detailed tutorials how to get it working.

This mutt configuration is for 2 email accounts - gmail.com and yandex.ru,
using folder-hooks and account-hooks to switch between them.
It is simple and quick setup.

Structure of files and folders:

~/  
 |--.mutt/  
     |-- accounts.gpg
     |-- aliases 
     |-- muttrc
     |-- yandex  
     |-- gmail
     |-- mailcap  
     |-- gmail.com/  
     |   |-- cache/  
     |       |-- bodies/  
     |       |-- headers  
     |-- yandex.ru/  
     |   |-- cache/  
     |       |-- bodies/  
     |       |-- headers   
     

Files content:

---

accounts

set my_name        = 'Your Name'  
set my_gmail_user  = '[email protected]'  
set my_gmail_pass  = 'your_password_here'  
set my_yandex_user = '[email protected]'  
set my_yandex_pass = 'your_password_here'

Encrypt this file with your personal key, or optionally generate new pair of key for this case:

gpg --gen-key  
gpg -e -r 'Your Name' accounts 
shred accounts && rm -f accounts
