[Orgmode] hyperlink to IMAP email
I would like to link to email messages that are held in IMAP folders either locally or on the server. I've tried vm but realized that I would have to set up a copy of my IMAP folder structure into the vm folder world in order for that to work. I was about to investigate wanderlust, but realized what I really want is a command line mechanism to launch an email reader at a specified message within my IMAP folders. So far I have not found one that allows this. What I am after is a way to put in a link to invoke a command like: myemailclient -imap=usern...@imapserver.org -folder=myfolder -id=50215.151.199.150.148.1269632035.squir...@webmail.my.org I presently use thunderbird as my email client and it doesn't support this, I've looked at several other linux email clients and they do not support this either. Does anyone know of an email client that can be invoked from the command line to open up at a specific IMAP email? How do the org-mode users link to their IMAP mail? thanks in advance!

snip I presently use thunderbird as my email client and it doesn't support this, I've looked at several other linux email clients and they do not support this either. Does anyone know of an email client that can be invoked from the command line to open up at a specific IMAP email? How do the org-mode users link to their IMAP mail? I haven't looked at this in a while, but years ago I wanted the exact same thing for Thunderbird, but could not find out how to do it. I did put together something that did this very smoothly with Outlook, but that is not going to help you. I will be watching this thread to see if anyone has any good idea. Does any of this change with Thunderbird 3, I wonder? --Erik ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

On OS X it os possible to use mail.app, on linux offline-imap, mutt and org-mairix (in contrib) bye, alex ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Wanderlust does: [[wl:%Inbox:user/cl...@host:993!#4bacbd0f.e2f8c...@blueshieldca.com][4bacbd0f.e2f8c...@blueshieldca.com]] How do the org-mode users link to their IMAP mail? Doing the linking on two assumptions: - the most significant part of a link to a mail message is the message-id; no matter where it is, the message id identifies what I am referring to - messages have a distinct place: either there are in one of my inboxes, or there are in a local archive (transfered after 180 days) So I create a link pointing to the inbox: Either the default inbox or including server information. This link will be valid for 180 days, that is way enough to open recent links. In case the link is invalid because the message is moved to the local archive, I utilize namazu[1] and Wanderlust's capabilitiy of a Search folder that performs a search for a message in a namazu index.
