tutorial request for non-gmail users

Isn't it sufficient to simply replace the appropriate urls? Gmail requires a little bit of more attention as it exposes its labels as IMAP folders, which has certain intricacies. Maybe this link for Outlook helps?

I've spent more than two days on the configuration. I'll try that on this coming Saturday thanks.

@suvayu Since I can successfully set it for 163 mail last year(after using the 163 account several weeks it failed due to some unknown reasons), I want to try it again. After some attempt I failed again.

According to this document, I'll be able to fetch and send emails through Mutt after configuring only the following four settings:

set imap_user=fanle_2013 # I have tried to add @163.com but the same login failed error occurred
set imap_pass=the_imap_pass_but_not_the_account_pass
set folder=imaps://imap.163.com:993
set spoolfile=+INBOX

But I encounter the login failed error every time. Am I mistaken anyway so far?

I have made it for hotmail.

Those lines look okay to me. If it's not working, then you could enable debug (see man mutt) and investigate.
