OK, I'm going to give it another try to make #emacs, #msmtp, #mbsync, #notmuch work for taming email. I'm looking (sternly 😡 ) at you, gmail forced down my throat by my <insert-employer-entity-here>...
My ideal setup would likely be simple: edit messages from emacs, store messages locally, fuzzy search available, viewing email threads, and completion for filling *to* and *from* fields.
How hard could it be? -- Wish me luck.

#FOSS advice required!
#rasbperrypi
#debian
#manjaro
#freebsd
#openbsdI have been running #ssmtp on raspberrypi as I need to get mail off the box. However, I see notes on debian that is is now unmaintained but still available as a package.
I've looked at #msmtp as an alternative and also #dma. both seem to work well
I only need a method of getting mail off the box so I don't need a full smtpd like exim, postfix etc.
What's the feeling for a futureproof, supported transfer agent?

If you are a command line and text terminal fan like myself, chances are you are using this trio daily:
– #pass for managing #passwords,
– #mutt for reading and writing #email,
– #msmtp for sending out e-mails via weird mail servers such as #MS #Exchange that mutt cannot talk to directly.Today I figured out how to make them work together without entering or storing #cleartext passwords.
I am using GNU/Linux and have #gpg agent working.
I used pass to store my e-mail (and #ActiveDirectory) password under the name uni/mail. This generated the encrypted file ~/.password-store/uni/mail.gpg. So …
In ~/.muttrc, I put:
set imap_pass=`gpg2 --no-tty -q -d ~/.password-store/uni/mail.gpg`In ~/.msmtprc, I put:
passwordeval gpg2 --no-tty -q -d ~/.password-store/uni/mail.gpgWhenever I change this password, all I have to do is to store it using pass. The other programs will fetch it from there and decrypt it when they need it.
