* Email

I want to live in Emacs, but as we all know, living is incomplete without email.
|
||
|
|
So I prayed to the text editor gods and they (I) answered. Emacs+evil's editing
|
||
|
|
combined with org-mode for writing emails? Yes please.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It uses ~mu4e~ to read my email, but depends on ~offlineimap~ (to sync my email
|
||
|
|
via IMAP) and ~mu~ (to index my mail into a format ~mu4e~ can understand).

||

My config is gmail/gsuite oriented, and since Google has its own opinions on the
|
||
|
|
IMAP standard, it is unlikely to translate to other hosts.

** Installation
|
||
|
|
*** MacOS
|
||
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :tangle (if (doom-system-os 'macos) "yes")
|
||
|
|
brew install mu --with-emacs
|
||
|
|
brew install offlineimap
|
||
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*** Arch Linux
|
||
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :dir /sudo:: :tangle (if (doom-system-os 'arch) "yes")
|
||
|
|
sudo pacman --noconfirm --needed -S offlineimap mu
|
||

** Setup
|
||
|
|
First, you need to set up, download and index your email:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Write a ~\~/.offlineimaprc~. Mine can be found [[https://github.com/hlissner/dotfiles/tree/master/shell/%252Bmu][in my dotfiles repository]]. It
|
||
|
|
is configured to download mail to ~\~/.mail~.
|
||
|
|
2. Download your email: ~offlineimap -o~ (may take a while)
|
||
|
|
3. Index it with mu: ~mu index --maildir ~/.mail~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then configure Emacs to use your email address:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle no
|
||
|
|
;; + %s is replaced with the label, e.g. /%s/Drafts => /lissner.net/Drafts
|
||
|
|
;; + Each path is relative to `+email-mu4e-mail-path', which is ~/.mail by
|
||
|
|
;; default
|
||
|
|
(set! :email "lissner.net"
|
||
|
|
'((mu4e-sent-folder . "/%s/Sent Mail")
|
||
|
|
(mu4e-drafts-folder . "/%s/Drafts")
|
||
|
|
(mu4e-trash-folder . "/%s/Trash")
|
||
|
|
(mu4e-refile-folder . "/%s/All Mail")
|
||
|
|
(smtpmail-smtp-user . "henrik@lissner.net")
|
||
|
|
(user-mail-address . "henrik@lissner.net")
|
||
|
|
(mu4e-compose-signature . "---\nHenrik Lissner"))
|
||
|
|
t)
|
||
|
|
