Doing it with exchange:

1. Install msmtp (brew install msmtp)

~/.muttrc

# same as above, except:
set imap_user = "mlorenz"
set imap_pass = "Sekret"

set from = "[email protected]"
set realname = "Mark Lorenz"

set header_cache=~/.mutt/cache/headers
set message_cachedir=~/.mutt/cache/bodies
set certificate_file=~/.mutt/certificates

set move = no

set sort = 'threads'
set sort_aux = 'reverse-date'
set smtp_authenticators="login"
set imap_check_subscribed

hdr_order Date From To Cc

set folder    = "imaps://[email protected]"
set spoolfile = "imaps://[email protected]/INBOX"
set sendmail  = "/usr/local/bin/msmtp"

~/.msmtprc

defaults
logfile ~/.msmtp.log  # you might have to create this

account default
host exchange.innova-partners.com
port 25
protocol smtp
tls on
tls_trust_file ~/.mutt/certificates
from [email protected]
auth on
user INNOVA\mlorenz
password Sekret

The OWA URL for DavMail is:

https://exchange.innova-partners.com

Make it pretty:
https://github.com/altercation/mutt-colors-solarized

cd ~/.mutt
git clone https://github.com/altercation/mutt-colors-solarized.git

In ~/.muttrc:
source $HOME/.mutt/mutt-colors-solarized/mutt-colors-solarized-dark-256.muttrc

This .msmtprc file works:

defaults
logfile ~/.msmtp.log

account default
host exchange.innova-partners.com
port 25
protocol smtp
tls on
tls_trust_file ~/.mutt/certificates
from [email protected]
auth on
user smerrill
password password

Note that comments don't seem to be supported. I had a file named, literally, .msmtp.log\ \ #\ you\ might\ have\ to\ create\ this ;)
