Tested on macOS Tahoe 25.6.

This assumes:

• You don't have or want to install mutt via MacPorts or Homebrew.
• You know how or already have installed the Xcode Command line tools. (Hint: type 'clang' in a Terminal and follow the prompts.)
• You keep up with new mutt releases and downlooad, compile, and install the new version in the same way to replace your current (vulnerable) version.
• mutt should be installed in ~/mutt.

Do the following:

1. Install the Xcode Command Line tools.
2. Download the mutt .tar.gz file from http://www.mutt.org/download.html.
3. Open Terminal.
4. Create and change to a directory to extract the mutt .tar.gz to:

   mkdir ~/compile
   cd ~/compile

5. Extract the mutt .gar.gz:

   tar xzvf ~/Downloads/mutt-2.4.1.tar.gz

6. Change to the extracted mutt directory:

   cd mutt-2.4.1

7. Clone the https://github.com/jeroen/apple-libressl-sdk repository to get the missing LibreSSL header files for SSL/TLS (and IMAPS) support:

   git clone git clone https://github.com/jeroen/apple-libressl-sdk

8. Configure mutt with:
   1. Base location the mutt directory in your home directory (~/mutt)
   2. The mailbox file in your home directory.
   3. IMAP support
   4. SMTP support
   5. SSL/TLS support using the apple-libressl-sdk directory

      ./configure --prefix=$HOME/mutt --with-homespool=mutt/mailbox --enable-imap --enable-smtp --with-ssl=apple-libressl-sdk

9. Compile and install with:

   make install

10. Create a ~/.muttrc file with the desired settings.
11. Start mutt from a terminal with:

    ~/mutt/bin/mutt
