I will be using a dummy example account for a generic email account and one for Gmail, Since we are on a Mac we will be looking at a dummy iCloud account as well. However I am convinced that this should cover a vast majority of the users. Other Protocols and methods вЂ“ I am looking at you Exchange вЂ“ are out of scope. This post is limited to fetching emails over imap and for sending over smtp. It does need other 3rd party dependencies for retrieving and for sending emails. Mu4e is part of the command-line indexer mu for emails in maildir (mail directory) format. The two above things will not be covered the instructions on this page.

In my mind, this is the best or maybe just the easiest way to get (open-source) software onto your Mac. A working Installation of Homebrew: Fortunately the installation is easy. Prerequisites A working Emacs configuration: I suppose no one will setup Mu4e without that. As a matter of fact this is actually true for all my posts. I want to have a record/documentation to go back to myself. The last reason for typing this down is purely selfish. But we are trying to be as thorough as possible here, right. With the hope that this way the discovery and deep dive into emailing with Mu4e in Emacs starts after the joy of a working system. My goal here is to provide a step by step instruction without looking too far behind the curtain.

I know, because that was the case for me in the beginning. However I found that most of them kind of require too deep a knowledge of Emacs and command-line tools for a beginner to master or troubleshoot without a proper headache. Upload the GPG key by adding it to your GitHub account.There are a bunch of instructions on setting up Mu4e on macOS online. # Prints the GPG key, in ASCII armor format In the following example, the GPG key ID is 3AA5C34371567BD2: $ gpg -armor -export 3AA5C34371567BD2 To keep your email address private, use your GitHub-provided no-reply email address.ДЇor more information, see ' Setting your commit email address.'

In this case you will also need to configure Git to use gpg2 by running git config -global gpg.program gpg2.ДЇrom the list of GPG keys, copy the long form of the GPG key ID you'd like to use. Note: Some GPG installations on Linux may require you to use gpg2 -list-keys -keyid-format LONG to view a list of your existing keys instead.
