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.
