Configure Gmail in Mutt easily!

It's always wonderful to play with terminal. Last week, I tried to configure my Gmail account in mutt, a powerful console based mail client, using this tutorial. I had to create some configuration files for various related applications and executed some commands. Hence I thought it would be nice if there is any script/program to configure mutt easily by simply entering the Gmail ID and password. Here is such an application, written in C++, which will help you to configure mutt very easily. All that you need to do is install mutt and follow these steps :

1. Download this file
2. Exctract it to your home directory
3. Execute the following commands :

$cd muttgconf
$./muttgconf

VERY IMPORTANT: THE PROGRAM CREATES / MODIFIES MANY CONFIGURATION FILES. I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS CAUSED BY THIS APPLICATION. USE IT UNDER YOUR RISK.

Get its source from git://github.com/ershad/Mutt-Gmail-Conf.git    Good luck :)
