OK. Since mutt runs on your desktop, it will read the ~/.mutt file(s)
from your desktop machine. Copy them over.
And since mutt runs on your desktop, it uses the mailer there. By
default, mutt invokes sendmail, so you need to configure that to send
mail properly. Alternatively, you could install msmtp and tell mutt to
use it, and tell msmtp how to send mail. (Using msmtp is what I do.)
Or you could use the smtp client feature of mutt and configure the
correct smtp server in mutt. (I've never done this.)
