Email with Mutt (neomutt)

Configuration and nav keys kept to mimic VIM defaults as most as possible.

Current Functionality

• Syncs to gMail with several gMail-specific work-arounds and key bindings
• Uses lpass, the LastPass CLI, for password management. Updating passwords in LastPass will update your email passwords
• Can send emails to TaskWarrior as tasks
• Uses Contacts.app (macOS/OSX) for contact management and auto-completion
• Spell checking and auto-completion inside composer view
  • Simple fix for common mispellings (e.g, 'teh' -> 'the', 'Im' -> 'I'm')

Planned Functionality

• Dictionary autocomplete inside composer view
• Combined/aggregated inbox with offlineimap (only combining inboxes, gMail can store the bulk of the mail)
• Alternative contact mgmt that isn't platform-specific
• Enhanced "to task" functionality
• Messages custom colored depending on type (text/calendar, etc)

Details and Installation

Dependencies

• urlscan (https://github.com/firecat53/urlscan)

Steve Losh's article/walkthorugh: I used this pretty extensively to get a decent jumping off point for my own setup. Mainly the gMail integration and the contacts integration. Great article with practical use-cases.

Chat and IRC with irssi and Bittlebee

Planned Functionality

• gChat
• Hipchat
• IRC
