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. Many universities and businesses might host their domain's email via Google or another service.

.B Password decryption
mutt-wizard uses
.I pass
and therefore
.I gpg
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
.I default-cache-ttl
and
.I max-cache-ttl
variables in your
.I
gpg-agent.conf.
