* Description
|
||||
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).

||||

|

|
||||
* Prerequisites
|
||||
This module requires:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Either ~mbsync~ (default) or ~offlineimap~ (to sync mail with)
|
||||
+ ~mu~ (to index your downloaded messages)
|
||||
|
||||
** MacOS
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
|
||||
brew install mu --with-emacs
|
||||
# And one of the following
|
||||
brew install isync # mbsync
|
||||
brew install offlineimap
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
** Arch Linux
|
||||
Run one of the following commands.
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
|
||||
sudo pacman -S isync # mbsync
|
||||
sudo pacman -S offlineimap
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
Install ~mu~, which is not available in the main repositories but in the AUR, by
|
||||
using for example the AUR helper ~yay~.
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
|
||||
yay -S mu
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
** NixOS
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC nix
|
||||
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
|
||||
mu
|
||||
# And one of the following
|
||||
isync
|
||||
offlineimap
|
||||
];
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
[[https://github.com/Emiller88/dotfiles/blob/master/modules/shell/mail.nix][An example of setting up mbsync with home-manager]]
|
||||
|
||||
** openSUSE
|
||||
Remove ~#~ in ~#sync_program=offlineimap~ to choose ~offlineimap~ instead of
|
||||
~mbsync~.
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :dir /sudo::
|
||||
sync_program=isync # mbsync
|
||||
#sync_program=offlineimap
|
||||
|
||||
sudo zypper install maildir-utils $sync_programm
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
* Configuration
|
||||
** offlineimap
|
||||
This module uses =mbsync= by default. To change this, change ~+mu4e-backend~:
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
||||
(setq +mu4e-backend 'offlineimap)
|
||||
#+END_SRC
|
||||
|
||||
Then you must set up offlineimap and index your mail:
|
||||
|
||||
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 `+mu4e-mu4e-mail-path', which is ~/.mail by default
|
||||
(set-email-account! "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)
|
||||
#+END_SRC
