NeoMutt COPR Install

For years, this was the way to install NeoMutt. Now that NeoMutt is available to Fedora directly, the COPR install has been deprecated.

If you previously installed NeoMutt from the COPR, you can disable it by running:

dnf copr remove flatcap/neomutt

Update

Once NeoMutt is installed, it will be updated automatically when you perform system updates. You can make that happen sooner by running:

dnf update

Removal

To completely remove NeoMutt from your system:

dnf remove neomutt
