This module uses =mbsync= by default. To use =offlineimap=, change ~+mu4e-backend~:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

Then you must set up offlineimap and index your mail:
Next, you need to write a configuration file for =offlineimap=. Mine can be found
[[https://github.com/hlissner/dotfiles/tree/master/shell/mu][in my dotfiles repository]]. It is configured to download mail to ~\~/.mail~. I
use [[https://www.passwordstore.org/][unix pass]] to securely store my login credentials. You can find a *very*
detailed configuration [[https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap/blob/master/offlineimap.conf][here]].

2. Download your email: ~offlineimap -o~ (may take a while)
3. Index it with mu: ~mu index --maildir ~/.mail~
Next you can download your email with ~offlineimap -o~. This may take a while,
especially if you have thousands of mails.
You can now proceed with the [[*mu and mu4e][mu and mu4e]] section.
** mbsync
The steps needed to set up =mu4e= with =mbsync= are very similar to the ones for
[[*offlineimap][offlineimap]].
Start with writing a ~\~/.mbsyncrc~. An example for GMAIL can be found on
[[http://pragmaticemacs.com/emacs/migrating-from-offlineimap-to-mbsync-for-mu4e/][pragmaticemacs.com]]. A non-GMAIL example is available as a gist [[https://gist.github.com/agraul/60977cc497c3aec44e10591f94f49ef0][here]]. The [[http://isync.sourceforge.net/mbsync.html][manual
page]] contains all needed information to set up your own.
Next you can download your email with ~mbsync --all~. This may take a while, but
should be quicker than =offlineimap= ;).
You can now proceed with the [[*mu and mu4e][mu and mu4e]] section.
** mu and mu4e
You should have your email downloaded already. If you have not, you need to set
=offlineimap= or =mbsync= up before you proceed.
Before you can use =mu4e= or the cli program =mu=, you need to index your email
initially. How to do that differs a little depending on the version of =mu= you
use. You can check your version with ~mu --version~.
For =mu= *>=1.4* you need to run two commands:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
mu init --maildir ~/.mail --my-address email@example.com
mu index
#+END_SRC
=mu= *<1.4* only requires one command:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
mu index --maildir ~/.mail
#+END_SRC
