If you are uncomfortable about having your IMAP password stored in plain text, set the permissions for .muttrc using the ``chmod'' command so only you can read and write to the file, no one else. In this same section of your .muttrc, show mutt where to find your IMAP inbox. This is sometimes not apparent, even when you've specified where to find your mail.
