- lcfcjs2 9y agoI would be weary of giving any third party full access to my email, especially if you often share sensitive information.
- cryptonector 9y agoOhhh, this is exactly what I want, minus emacs.
- gh02t 9y agoNot sure if you're saying you want emacs or don't, but... * You want emacs - https://notmuchmail.org/notmuch-emacs/ https://notmuchmail.org/notmuch-emacs/ * You don't want emacs - https://github.com/pazz/alot https://github.com/pazz/alot (I use this one, it's very nice) Also Mutt - https://notmuchmail.org/notmuch-mutt/ https://notmuchmail.org/notmuch-mutt/
- TeMPOraL 9y agoHow does it compare to mu / mu4e? - http://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/ http://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/ - https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/mu4e https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/mu4e
- gh02t 9y agoSimilar concept and similar speed, but notmuch is a little more actively developed. I also find the notmuch command line interface a bit easier and the various tools built on top of it to be better. Alot, the terminal UI I mentioned in the parent comment, is almost exactly what I want in a mail program.
- cryptonector 9y agoThanks for the links! What I really want is: mutt's UI, but with a SQLite3/PostgreSQL backend, and mutt not to iterate a mailbox when opening it, and an async IMAP client that reconnects as needed.
- work_account 9y agoGmail users wanting to try notmuch probably want something like https://github.com/gauteh/gmailieer https://github.com/gauteh/gmailieer for seamless tag<->label integration.
