Not exactly sure what's happening here. This is what happens when I open mutt
Error: impossible to build path of 'etc/aliases'.
Error in /home/user/.config/mutt/muttrc, line 8:
source: errors in /home/user/.config/mutt/muttrc
Error: issue converting path to absolute (No such file or directory)Press any key to continue...

The system automatically sources a file where you can put aliases/address book info. It seems like you've deleted yours?

Either remove the line from the muttrc that sources it or just run

touch ~/.config/mutt/etc/aliases

Okay, thank you Luke! I'm sorry I'm so incompetent. Mutt still isn't working quite right but it isn't your script, it's probably just me.

If you feel like you messed it all up, just rm ~/.offlineimaprc, ~/.config/mutt and reclone the repo

git clone https://github.com/lukesmithxyz/mutt-wizard ~/.config/mutt

and try again. Sounds like you at least deleted the etc/ folder which would've hurt other things too.

It still isn't working for some reason. I cloned the entire repo into ~/.config/mutt, and ran the script.
I also get an errror when I open mutt that says
/var/mail/user is not a mailbox
Mail on linux has always been a struggle for me, I'm gonna reopen the issue until I get this figured out.

Did you finalize the wizard by running the mailbox detector?

Oh, well you know it works if you read. Thank you for the tool, I'm going to creep back into the shadows now because I can't read. Thanks Luke.
