How to restart mutt to pick new configuration?


We use mutt in our prod servers to send mails. It uses sendgrid smtp url. Recently i changed sendgrid password in .muttrc file. Now i am getting following error:

SASL authentication failed
Could not send the message.

I searched over net but could not get a specific command to restart mutt. I got this 1 link which says that i need to use :source. But could not figure out how to actually do it.


Solution

  • You may reread the configuration file with:

     :source ~/.muttrc
    

    ... assuming your configuration file is named ".muttrc" and resides in your home directory.
