| + | ====== Introduction ====== | ||
| + | Tired of having mails everywhere and use different software/ | ||
| + | First we need to retrieve emails, there are lots of software doing this. I choose isync as it works out of the box for Gmail accounts :) | ||
| + | ====== Pre-requisite ====== | ||
| + | You need to enable IMAP connection on your gmail account: Setttings(button)/ | ||
| + | ====== Install ====== | ||
| + | You need to install isync | ||
| + | ====== Configuration ====== | ||
| + | I use to store mails in the following folder hierarchy: | ||
| + | <code bash> | ||
| + | / | ||
| + | └── superaddress1@gmail.com | ||
| + | └── superaddress2@gmail.com | ||
| + | └── superaddress3@gmail.com | ||
| + | └── … | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | This way all my mails from all my accounts will be synchronized in one place :) thus easily browsable/ | ||
| + | for configuration: | ||
| + | ===== .mbsyncrc ===== | ||
| + | The configuration file that will contains all nice email address to retrieve/ | ||
| + | <code bash> | ||
| + | IMAPAccount gmail | ||
| + | # Address to connect to | ||
| + | Host imap.gmail.com | ||
| + | User superaddress1@gmail.com | ||
| + | Pass YourSup3rP@ssw0rd | ||
| + | #To store the password in an encrypted file use PassCmd instead of Pass | ||
| + | # PassCmd "gpg2 -q --for-your-eyes-only --no-tty -d ~/ | ||

| + | ====== Sync ====== | ||
| + | now we can test if it works: | ||
| + | <code bash> | ||
| + | mbsync gmail | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | depending on the size of your mailbox you better go grab a coffee :) | ||
