# mutt Offline email setup

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.

## Progress

The main scripts `mutt_install.sh` can create or add an account from a domain in `domain.csv` to `~/.offlineimaprc` without a problem.

## YOU CAN HELP

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!

Or you can help monetarily via [Patreon](https://patreon.com/lukesmith) or [Paypal](https://paypal.me/LukeMSmith)!

## Todo

* Expand the list of server information in `domains.csv`, including adding spoolfiles/records/postponed folders for each account.
* Write scripts that do the following:
	* Stat `~/.offlineimaprc` and the the mutt configs to see what accounts are currently available. (**Done**, currently in `stat.sh`; needs integration.)
	* Delete a profile from above if requested. (**Done**, currently in `removeaccount.sh`; needs integration.)
	* Add a profile above if requested, including:
		* An automatic search of `domains.csv` for server information. (**Done**)
		* An ncurses menu for inputing server settings if not available in `domains.csv`. (Soon, see `manual.sh`)
		* Differential actions for Gmail accounts since these are distinct in offlineIMAP. (**Done**)
	* Configure notmuch with all accounts.
	* A prompt for adding encypted passwords for each account available.
		* Or directions for adding plain text passwords if desired.

### Todo: Add settings for email accounts not unified by one domain
