- `notmuch` - index and search mail. Install it and run `notmuch setup`, tell it that your mail is in `~/.local/share/mail/`. You can run it in mutt with `ctrl-f`. Run `notmuch new` to process new mail, although the included `mailsync` script does this for you.
|

- `abook` - a terminal-based address book. Pressing tab while typing an address to send mail to will suggest contacts that are in your abook.

- A cron manager - if you want to enable the auto-sync feature.
|
||||
- `pam-gnupg` - this is a more general program that I use. It automatically logs you into your GPG key on login so you will never need to input your password once logged on to your system. Check the repo and directions out [here](https://github.com/cruegge/pam-gnupg).

Protonmail users must use the Protonmail Bridge <https://protonmail.com/bridge/> to access their IMAP and SMTP servers. This too should be configured before running mutt-wizard.

.B Enterprise and university accounts
|
||||
Many universities and businesses might host their domain's email via Google or another service. This often requires a special IMAP/SMTP-specific password that you must generate and use. Again, mutt-wizard can handle these systems, but only once they've been set up.

|

mutt-wizard uses

and therefore

|

to decrypt your passwords. Provided your GPG key has a password, this might mean that you will be prompted for your GPG password the first time you sync or send mail in a session. Once your password is cached, it might also expire later as well.
|
||||
|
||||
Because of this I strongly recommend the program
|
||||
.I pam-gnupg
|
||||
<https://github.com/cruegge/pam-gnupg> which automatically unlocks your GPG password on login and keeps it active, thus giving you, with mutt-wizard, secure access to all your email accounts on your system without ever having to input a password.
|

|

If you don't want to use this program, you can also increase the cache time of an inputted GPG password with the
