So you read HN. Hacker news.
You set up iSync (mbsync) and all Your Gmail via IMAP. Since you are a hacker, you use emacs (or if you are less fortunate :-) vim)
Now configure mu4e, notmuch or gnus. All Your actions are now a simple keystroke away:
C compose
R reply
F forward
And never bother with Gmail interface :-)

It will work for you instead that you work for your computer. It will do anything you want ( and more) Now is the time to discover this shining gem in all of softwares.
- themodelplumber 8y agoOk, you got me. I'm going to give it a shot. :-)

- emgee_1 8y agoYes you are right. However, this is not the New York times nor the economist nor the guardian. This IS hacker news. :-)
- phlo 8y agoFor those too lazy to fetch everything to local (like me), the same shortcuts are available in the web interface as well. Pressing '?' pops up a full list of options.
