* Mail
Using Mu4e. It requires =mu(1)= tool be set up already. The mu4e
emacs package is bundled with the system package rather than
distributed seperately, so if it's been put somewhere on the
[[help:load-path][load-path]] we'd just need to ~require~ it — this is the case on the
linux distros that I've used. On OpenBSD, though, packages are
installed into =/usr/local/= and =/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp=
is not in =load-path=, so we need to add it.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(when (string-match-p "OpenBSD" (shell-command-to-string "uname -a"))
(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp"))
(require 'mu4e)
#+end_src
On Bedrock linux, Mu4e can't the =mu= binary as it's not in a
standard location. The location can be specified explicitly by
setting [[help:mu4e-mu-binary][mu4e-mu-binary]]. To check whether we're on Bedrock, we'll see
if the =brl= program is available, as =uname= will just yield
whichever distro bedrock booted from.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(when (< 0 (length (shell-command-to-string "which brl")))
(setq mu4e-mu-binary "/bedrock/cross/bin/mu"))
#+end_src
The folder archived mail gets saved into is determined by
[[help:mu4e-refile-folder][mu4e-refile-folder]]. I prefer to have archived mail stored on the
remote since then it's accessible from every machine. The default is
=/archive=, though, which is outside of any remotes. Easiest thing to
do is hardcode =/wip/archive= as the refile folder.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq mu4e-refile-folder "/wip/archive")
#+end_src
This only really works because I only have one email account I use
with Mu4e. It would archive mail from /all/ accounts onto the wip.sh
mail server.
The final general Mu4e thing is stopping it from prompting on exit:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq mu4e-confirm-quit nil)
#+end_src
** Fetching
Use =offlineimap(1)= (also needs to be set up seperately) to sync the
maildir with the remote server:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq mu4e-get-mail-command "offlineimap")
#+end_src
** Sending
To send mail we first need to set the mail address:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq user-mail-address "cdo@wip.sh")
#+end_src
Then set the sent and drafts folders to inside the remote folder:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq mu4e-sent-folder "/wip/sent"
mu4e-drafts-folder "/wip/drafts")
#+end_src
And finally configure SMTP:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq smtpmail-smtp-server "mail.wip.sh"
smtpmail-smtp-service 587
smtpmail-stream-type 'starttls
send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
#+end_src
