install requirements

mutt

GMAIL

Make sure to enable "IMAP" and "Allow less secure apps" so mutt can work with gmail

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#settings/fwdandpop

Enable IMAP

https://myaccount.google.com/security#activity

Allow less secure apps: ON

Some non-Google apps and devices use less secure sign-in technology, which could leave your account vulnerable. You can turn off access for these apps (which we recommend) or choose to use them despite the risks.

YAHOO

Make sure to "Allow apps that use less secure sign in" so mutt can work with yahoo

https://login.yahoo.com/account/security#other-apps

Hit Skip password change ...etc until you get to "Account security"

Allow apps that use less secure sign in: ON

Some non-Yahoo apps and devices use less secure sign-in technology, which could leave your account vulnerable. You can turn off access (which we recommend) or choose to use them despite the risks.
