  1. # mutt Offline email setup
  2. Mutt is one of the most rewarding programs one can use, but can be a pain in the ass to configure. Since my job is making power-user tools available for the masses I want to create a tool that automates most of mutt configuration so that users can simply give their email address and get a /comfy/ setup. At that, I don't just want a mutt wizard, but an offlineIMAP wizard, so users can easily access their mail offline as well, and a wizard that makes it easy to store passwords securely using gpg.
  3. ## Dependencies
  4. neomutt and offlineimap installed. This repo should go directly in `~/.config/mutt/` and run from there.
  5. ## Progress
  6. * The main scripts `mutt_install.sh` can create or add an account from a domain in `domain.csv` to `~/.offlineimaprc` without a problem.
  7. * It also creates a email-specific settings for your muttrc, which are outputed in the `accounts/` directory in your mutt directory.
  8. * It uses your gpg encryption to store your encrypted password in `credentials/`, where there are also two scripts that allow mutt and offlineIMAP to decrypt the passwords when needed.
  9. ## YOU CAN HELP
  10. If you use mutt with a particular host or domain, put your server information in `domains.csv`! This will make everyone else who uses your email provider's life much easier!
  11. Or you can help monetarily via [Patreon](https://patreon.com/lukesmith) or [Paypal](https://paypal.me/LukeMSmith)!
  12. ## Todo
  13. * Expand the list of server information in `domains.csv`, including adding spoolfiles/records/postponed folders for each account.
  14. * Write scripts that do the following:
  15. * Stat `~/.offlineimaprc` and the the mutt configs to see what accounts are currently available. (**Done**, currently in `removeaccount.sh`; needs integration.)
  16. * Delete a profile from above if requested. (**Done**, currently in `removeaccount.sh`; needs integration.)
  17. * Add a profile above if requested, including:
  18. * An automatic search of `domains.csv` for server information. (**Done**)
  19. * An ncurses menu for inputing server settings if not available in `domains.csv`. (Soon, see `manual.sh`)
  20. * Differential actions for Gmail accounts since these are distinct in offlineIMAP. (**Done**)
  21. * Configure notmuch with all accounts.
  22. * A prompt for adding encypted passwords for each account available.
  23. * Or directions for adding plain text passwords if desired.
