set spoolfile = imaps://imap.gmail.com/INBOX
set folder = imaps://imap.gmail.com/
set record="imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Sent Mail"
set postponed="imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Drafts"
set mbox="imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/All Mail"
# ================ SMTP ====================
set smtp_url = "smtp://username@smtp.gmail.com:587/"
set smtp_pass = $imap_pass
set ssl_force_tls = yes # Require encrypted connection
# ================ Composition ====================
set editor = `echo \$EDITOR`
set edit_headers = yes # See the headers when editing
set charset = UTF-8 # value of $LANG; also fallback for send_charset
# Sender, email address, and sign-off line must match
unset use_domain # because joe@localhost is just embarrassing
set realname = "YOUR NAME"
set from = "username@gmail.com"
set use_from = yes
