Mail avec emacs24

[Rossi Xavier]

Bonjour,

Je suis un peu novice avec emacs24.
J'aimerais cependant l'utiliser comme client mail.

Compte pop3 et smtp.

Si vous avez des astuces et conseil, merci d'avance.

The packages that come with Emacs are:

Rmail – GNU Emacs default mail reader
Gnus – the news and mail reader with likely the largest user base
MH-E – interface to the MH mail system

Some other packages that are distributed separately are also commonly used:

WanderLust – very good IMAP4 and Offline support
Mew – good IMAP4 support
VM – offers virtual folders and good documentation
NotMuch – an email indexing/search tool with an emacs mail client
mu4e – new email client based on the mu e-mail indexer


I use Gnus and Notmuch

For some reason Alan Perlis' quote comes to mind:

"If you have a function with 10 parameters you probably missed some"

Gnus. Gnus is to mail and news readers what emacs is to text
editors.

To give you an example, to use gmail with IMAP as an example, you
just have to add this to your .emacs:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq gnus-select-method
'(nnimap "gmail" (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com"))
#+END_SRC

And you are good to go, just do M-x gnus.

To not be asked for your username and password, create a file
~/.authinfo.gpg with the contents:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
machine imap.gmail.com login your_username password
your_password port 993
machine smtp.gmail.com login your_username password
your_password port 587
#+END_EXAMPLE

Save it, emacs will encrypt it, ask you for a new password, and
from then on, gnus will only ask you the new password once per
session.

To understand how gnus deals with mail, copy this in your scratch
buffer

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
(info "(gnus) Mail in a Newsreader")
#+END_EXAMPLE

Go to the end of the line and hit C-j

This covers the basics:

Do you mean you use Gnus and Notmuch separately, or you use Gnus to
access Notmuch? If it's the latter, can you give some information about
how you have that set up? I'd be interested in looking into a setup
like that.

Hi Hubert,

Normally the latter. I did it something like this.

1. Install notmuch!

2. Run it from the command line, and it will take you through various
configuration options.


3. Set up your init.el to run the emacs notmuch mode (which comes with notmuch)

The code I use is below - mostly pinched from Bastien's init file!
http://bzg.fr/emacs.html. I use John Wiegley's wonderful
use-package.el, but you can extract the useful stuff easily enough.

Hope this helps
