* Trash folder.
* Google's `oauth2.py` script (<https://github.com/google/gmail-oauth2-tools>), see
  <https://neomutt.org/guide/optionalfeatures#6-%C2%A0oauthbearer-and-xoauth2-support>
  for usage details.
* Text-based Web browsers:
  + `w3m`

  + `links`
  + `links2`
  + `elinks`
* Utilities:
  + `urlview`
  + `urlscan`
* Editors:

The snap version of neomutt expects configuration files in

```
 ~/snap/neomutt/current
```

The main configuration file, for example, has to be placed in

```
 ~/snap/neomutt/current/.neomuttrc
```

Note that this directory is versioned and is backed up when the snap is
removed (see <https://snapcraft.io/docs/data-locations#heading--user>).

OAuth2 Support

Follow the direction in
<https://neomutt.org/guide/optionalfeatures#6-%C2%A0oauthbearer-and-xoauth2-support>
or simply run

```
 neomutt.oauth2 --help
```

to get instructions on how to create Client ID and Client Secrets. Create a
refresh token,

```
 neomutt.oauth2 --generate_oauth2_token
```

And add the following to the Neomutt configuration file,

```
 set imap_authenticators="oauthbearer"
 set imap_oauth_refresh_command="oauth2 --quiet \
   --user=[email_address] \
   --client_id=[client_id] \
   --client_secret=[client_secret] \
   --refresh_token=[refresh_token
```

Note that within the Neomutt configuration file, the `oauth2` script can be
called without specifying a path.
