#+TITLE: :app email
|
|
|
|
This module makes Emacs an email client, using ~mu4e~.
|
|
|
|
#+begin_quote
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
WARNING: 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.

This module requires:
|
|
|
|
+ ~offlineimap~ (to sync mail with)
|
|
+ ~mu~ (to index your downloaded messages)
|
|
|
|
** 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")
|

* Dependencies
|
|
You need to do the following:
|
|
|
|
1. Write a ~\~/.offlineimaprc~. 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.
|
|
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
|
|
;; Each path is relative to `+email-mu4e-mail-path', which is ~/.mail by default
|
|
(set! :email "Lissner.net"
|
|
'((mu4e-sent-folder . "/Lissner.net/Sent Mail")
|
|
(mu4e-drafts-folder . "/Lissner.net/Drafts")
|
|
(mu4e-trash-folder . "/Lissner.net/Trash")
|
|
(mu4e-refile-folder . "/Lissner.net/All Mail")
|
|
(smtpmail-smtp-user . "henrik@lissner.net")
|
|
(user-mail-address . "henrik@lissner.net")
|
|
(mu4e-compose-signature . "---\nHenrik Lissner"))
|
|
t)
