`dialog`, `neomutt` and `offlineimap` should be installed. You also need to have a GPG public/private key pair for the wizard to automatically store your passwords. The whole repo should be cloned to `~/.config/mutt/`. (If you have a previous mutt folder, you'll want to back it up or delete it first.)
You will want to delete or rename your current `~/.offlineimaprc` as well, as although you can later modify the `~/.offlineimaprc` produced by the script, you must have no file there the first time you add your first account or the wizard will assume some settings are already set which aren't.
Just run `mutt-wizard.sh` for all the options, to install an account:
* First, select the "Add an account" option and give the script your account information.
* Second, in a separate terminal, start your mail sync by running `offlineimap` or `offlineimap -a <your account name>`. This will start downloading all your mail for offline access.
* Third, once your mailbox has started to download, reenter the script and select the "Auto-detect mailboxes" open. This will finalize the install and let you open up mutt to see your mail.
Whenever you want to check for mail, just run the `offlineimap` command again.
Just run `mutt-wizard.sh` and choose to add an account. After you do so, you may run `offlineimap` to begin the mailsync, and you will be able to run neomutt and see your mail.
