Anyone still successfully using this or similar in a hardcore Microsoft Outlook environment? My university keeps making it harder, last time it broke I essentially just gave up temporarily, and I keep intending to try to fix it. Any help/ideas/insight is appreciated.

You will probably need davmail to download the mail from exchange before passing it on to offlineimap/whatever. I had to do that with my uni’s corporate outlook mail, a real pain but it does work (although I use mu4e, not mutt, but have used the latter also).

  I used to use davmail to get my email from an Exchange server, and it worked flawlessly. Then we switched to an O365 email solution. I'm sure it still uses exchange on the backend, but I don't know microsoft stuff so correct me if I am wrong. But ever since the switch from a selfhosted exchange server to O365, davmail has been useless.

    Have you tried setting clientID match outlook in ~/.davmail.properties davmail.mode=O365Manual davmail.oauth.clientId=d3590ed6-52b3-4102-aeff-aad2292ab01c davmail.oauth.redirectUri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob https://sourceforge.net/p/davmail/discussion/644057/thread/a7061b73cb/ https://sourceforge.net/p/davmail/discussion/644057/thread/a...

Never touched mutt, but I've been using Emacs+notmuch for email for quite a long time (and you can use mutt+notmuch together, unfortunately TFA doesn't even mention it - it's really good when you have too much mail). My daily workflow involved quite a lot of mail, both from real people expecting a reply, and some automated reports. I've had many notmuch auto-tagging rules, and some custom Emacs key shortcuts to make tagging/sorting even more efficient. I think I've accumulated around 100k messages during my 4 years there. Around 2017, I moved on to a job in a smaller company, where everyone was sitting in the same building. Ditched that setup, and definitely not looking back ;)

  I use bower+notmuch; what's your emacs setup for using notmuch? Everything I find for emacs seems to be built around mu4e, and I don't want to recreate my tagging/moving/&c. notmuch setup in mu4e.

    > what's your emacs setup for using notmuch? Past tense. I've deleted it with a sigh of relief, and switched to Apple Mail. I've trimmed my init.el down to <400 lines (according to cloc) but I'm still unhappy with that amount. I need a better editor, but I'm too hooked to magit.
