What is /usr/bin/security?

I almost copied this setup on Debian 10. For linux users, 'pass' is one of the alternatives to 'security'.

Thank you for this gist. Very helpful for me setting up neomutt and gmail on macOS Catalina.

If you do set record="+[Gmail]/Sent Mail" sent messages will be duplicated in [Gmail]/Sent Mail tho

I always meet gnutls_handshake: The TLS connection was non-properly terminated. when I send mail, although I can receive mail successfully.

Hi @VladimirPal I am have used the config but it neomutt couldn't login. Is it because of Gmail blocking less secure apps ?

I always meet gnutls_handshake: The TLS connection was non-properly terminated. when I send mail, although I can receive mail successfully.

set smtp_url = "smtps://myemail@[email protected]:587"
Port 587 is not smtps, but plain SMTP with optional upgrade to TLS using STARTTLS command. smtps is instead on port 465.

The "unexpected TLS packet was received" is the result of trying to interpret the non-TLS data (server welcome message) initially received on port 587 as TLS, which fails.
