I use Emacs + mu4e with 2 GMail accounts (personal & work). AMA I guess.
I use OfflineIMAP to sync the two accounts to ~/Maildir/{work,personal}, then mu4e-context to switch between settings for the two.
I entirely outsource actually sending the mail to a local exim4 daemon which is configured to forward through a GMail smarthost. IMNSHO this is much better than the recommended default configuration of making Emacs actually send the mail, I don't have to worry about not having a network connection at the time, or some other transitory error with a real smtpd retrying the send if needed.
You then may need a tiny hack on top of Debian's default exim configuration to make it switch between different smtp servers / accounts depending on what address you're sending mail from. For reasons I won't go into I send E-Mail through a company-run SMTP server even though I then fetch work E-Mail from GMail.

- TeMPOraL 9y agoThanks for the tips. I'm trying OfflineIMAP now (it's syncing... there's few gigs of e-mail to sync...). I'll definitely consider your trick for sending e-mail - I definitely value both Emacs not hanging and also having the ability to send e-mails off-line.
