I modified Pteron's muttrc file to use my local Maildir rather than login via IMAP.

This is A) Faster/better since it cuts out the bother of an imap connection to localhost and accesses your mail directly, B) It actually works (the imap method always failed on a segfault for me at least), C) You gotta like not having to store your username/password in the clear since there's no imap login to perform D) More responsive than webmail for quick email checks, and works even when webmail doesn't.

To use, change the realname line and save with filename ".muttrc"; upload this to your home directory, then login via ssh and type "mutt".

# For TextDrive accounts (running mutt on the server)

set mbox_type=Maildir
set folder="~/Maildir/"
set spoolfile="~/Maildir/"
set mask="!^\\.[^.]"
set record="+.Sent"
set postponed="+.Drafts"

set realname="Yourname"

mailboxes `\
echo -n "+ "; \
for file in ~/Maildir/.*; do \
  box=$(basename $file); \
  if [ ! $box = '.' -a ! $box = '..' -a ! $box = '.customflags' \
      -a ! $box = '.subscriptions' ]; then \
    echo -n "+$box "; \
  fi; \
done`
