for me in weechat was the fantastic /iset mechanism from which other ncurses applications may also want to learn, the encrypted storage of credentials and the sidebar capabilities. > E.g., I went from pine and elm to mutt and now this is a whole new story :^) in short, I went the same but stayed very short in elm and ended up writing a fairly complex setup, which made me afraid of forgetting it, plus frustrated of moving it around, to the point I decided to write a software for it, aptly named Jaro-mail by a friend with good sense of humor. https://dyne.org/software/jaro-mail its mutt + notmuch + fetchmail + gpg + mixmaster + sieve + abook all integrated via Zsh scripts (which also do filtering, substituting procmail with a big deal of speed and flexibility) into a well documented and fairly easy to use setup for people used to CLI and maildirs. Beware this software is opinionated and enforces whitelisting to keep your inbox focused on messages from people you know already, so that it is feasible to check it also from a mobile phone. it also automatically creates server-side imap folders for mailinglist and a couple of other sieve tricks. for the fear of forgetting that I mentioned above, I spent a big deal of time writing a manual with proper accuracy on details http://files.dyne.org/jaromail/jaromail-manual.pdf people joke about me being the only user of this software :^) but to my surprise there are actually others, nevertheless we are a few and most users I know have all succesfully managed to tweak the code to fit it to their desires (which was intended, it being written in fairly modular shell scripts) ciao _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
