Mails
The Mails module implements a commandline email client. Emails can be written (via $EDITOR
) and viewed, also in threads. Emails can be crawled for creating new contacts.
A Text User Interface is not planned, but might be there at some point.
The mail module implements a minimal Email client. It does not handle IMAP syncing or SMTP things, it is just a viewer for emails (a MUA).
The goal of the initial implementation is only a CLI, not a TUI like mutt offers, for example (but that might be implemented later). As this is an imag module, it also creates references to mails inside the imag store which can be used by other tools then (for example imag-link
to link an entry with a mail - or the imag entry representing that mail).
So this module offers functionality to read (Maildir) mailboxes, search for and list mails and mail-threads and reply to mails (by spawning the $EDITOR
).
Outgoing mails are pushed to a special directory and can later on be send via imag-mail
which calls a MTA (for example msmtp) and also creates store entries for the outgoing mails.
CLI
The CLI of the imag-mail module is planned as follows:
imag mail track <path> [opts...] # track a new mail, mail file passed as path
imag mail scan <path> [opts...] # scan a maildir and track all untracked mails
imag mail box <name|path> # work with the mailbox specified by <name|path>, name mappings from config
imag mail list <args...> # list mails in a given mailbox for a given account or the default account
imag mail show <args...> # open new mails in the pager
imag mail thread list <args...> # list mails from a thread
imag mail thread show <args...> # open new mails from a thread in the pager or call a script with them
imag mail new <args...> # craft a new mail and safe it in the <outgoing> folder
imag mail send <args...> # send emails from the outgoing folder, optionally also move them to archice boxes
imag mail mv <srcbox> <dstbox> # move a mail (or thread) from one mailbox to another
