Email package

This package is intended to become a full featured fuzzy-search based email client, using the texteditor you love.

What it supports for now

• Email configuration file
• Open mailbox specified in mailtool configuration
• browse mails (no changes of flags or else possible yet)
• only INBOX browseable

Configuration

(Email: Open Your Email Configuration). There is opened a sample, if you open it the first time. Email Configuration is a CSON file, which contains an object of accounts, with a descriptive name as key.

Each account can have following fields:

• transport, See https://www.npmjs.com/package:/nodemailer-smtp-transport
• default, Prefill this with options from https://www.npmjs.com/package/nodemailer#e-mail-message-fields. Additionally you can use signature for passing a signature.

How to Use

Create a file and write something like:

to: kiwi@franka.dyndns.org
subject: Great Package :)

Hey Kiwi,

this is sent from the brand new mailer for atom.

Regards

Select it and then run "Email: Send Mail" command.

Or select some text and run "Email: Send Mail" command. There will be opened input dialogs for entering Subject, to address and other. Confirm with Enter, cancel with ESC.

Motivation

I work with some pretty big IMAP mail folders and our company's mail repository is just huge, at least for Thunderbird. It becomes slow. I tried some other mailers, but everyone is merely the same. At some point it becomes slow.

Ideas

• Send selection as email.
• Write a file and instead of save send it as mail.
• Create new email as .eml file

For all of this there is needed a configuration of mail account.

You can configure a mail account in a single URL:

imap://user:passwd@imap.host.com:123/

• this implies use of STARTTLS if STARTTLS is part of CAPABILITY features. See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5092

imaps://user:passwd@imap.host.com:993/

• install opener for imap URI like above

  • imaps://user:passwd@imap.host.com:993/ (no sendmail connected, or system default taken)

  • apart from this you can also open mailtool://, which opens imap corresponding to that config.

  • imaps://user:password@imap.host.com:993/ is an alias for opening inbox

  • mailtool:///path/to/imap/folder opens a folder Editor (view).

  • mailtool:///path/to/imap/folder/ opens a mail in emailView

  • /path/to/file.eml opens a file from disk

• command for selecting a folder attached to a imap-mailbox-controller

• Have a bottom panel, which is a "docked" listview, containing mails in current folder.

  • there is a subcommand opening a folderSelectView, which does select a folder to be opened in such a docked listview.
