:app email

This module makes Emacs an email client, using mu4e.

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.

Install

This module requires:

offlineimap (to sync mail with)
mu (to index your downloaded messages)

MacOS

brew install mu --with-emacs
brew install offlineimap

Arch Linux

sudo pacman --noconfirm --needed -S offlineimap mu

Dependencies

You need to do the following:

Write a \~/.offlineimaprc. Mine can be found in my dotfiles repository. It is configured to download mail to \~/.mail. I use unix pass to securely store my login credentials.
Download your email: offlineimap -o (may take a while)
Index it with mu: mu index --maildir ~/.mail

Then configure Emacs to use your email address:

;; + %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"))
