-#+title: Email in Doom Emacs with Mu4e on macOS
-#+date: <2024-04-18 Thu 10:49:00>
-#+description: A short tutorial on configuring the Mu4e email client for Doom Emacs.
-#+filetags: emacs, org-mode, productivity
-#+slug: mu4e
-
-This post was heavily inspired by [[https://macowners.club/posts/email-emacs-mu4e-macos/][Email setup in Emacs with Mu4e on macOS]], but
-with my own tweaks for a single-account configuration and some Doom-specific
-configurations.
-
-* Overview
-
-[[https://github.com/emacsmirror/mu4e][Mu4e]] is an Emacs-based email client based on [[https://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/][mu]], an indexer that stores email in
-the Maildir format.
-
-This blog post covers the installation of Mu4e in Doom Emacs on macOS. This
-guide should be very similar to GNU Emacs and Linux-based systems, with a few
-tweaks required in the various configuration files.
-
-* Installation
-** Prerequisites
-*** Create the Folder Structure
-Start by creating the base folder structure:
-
-#+begin_src sh
-mkdir ~/.maildir
-mkdir ~/.maildir/example      # use whatever name you want to call your email account
-mkdir ~/.maildir/certificates # used to store system root certificates
-#+end_src
-
-*** Store Email Account Passwords in macOS Keychain
-Next, I will be using the macOS Keychain to store my email account passwords
-using the command below.
-
-#+begin_src sh
-security add-generic-password -s mu4e-example -a you@example.com -w
-#+end_src
-
-This will prompt you to input your password twice to confirm. Keep the
-=mu4e-example= name in mind, as you will need to reference it later in the IMAP
-and SMTP configuration files.
-
-*** Store Root Certificates
-
-In order to use IMAP and SMTP, we need to provide certificates to the local
-services. We will use the macOS defaults for this.
-
-1. Open =Keychain Access.app=.
-2. Select =System Roots= in the sidebar.
-3. Select all items with =CMD + a=.
-4. Export selected items with =SHIFT + CMD + a= to the file
-   =~/.maildir/certificates/root-certificates.pem=.
-
-*** Install Dependencies
-
-Install =mbsync= (via =isync=) to fetch emails via IMAP, =mu= to index emails,
-and =msmtp= to send emails via SMTP.
-
-#+begin_src sh
-brew install mu isync msmtp
-#+end_src
-
-** Installing Mu4e
-
-Within Doom Emacs, we can install Mu4e by enabling the package.
-
-#+begin_src sh
-nano ~/.doom.d/init.el
-#+end_src
-
-In this file, uncomment the =mu4e= line within the =:email= section. You can
-also enable the =+org= and =+gmail= options if you prefer.
-
-#+begin_src elisp
-(doom! :input
-       ...
-       :email
-       mu4e
-       ;;(mu4e +org +gmail)
-       ...
-       (default +bindings +smartparens))
-#+end_src
-
-* Configuration
-As an overall suggestion, I create the following configuration files in the
-=~/.maildir= directory and using symlinks to their proper locations so that I
-can backup and restore these files easily.
-
-#+begin_src sh
-touch ~/.maildir/.mbsyncrc && \
-touch ~/.maildir/.msmtprc  && \
-ln -s /Users/username/.maildir/.mbsyncrc /Users/username/.mbsyncrc && \
-ln -s /Users/username/.maildir/.msmtprc /Users/username/.msmtprc
-#+end_src
-
-You can also create these files in your home directory and skip the symlinking
-process above.
-
-** IMAP
-Next, let's configure =mbsync= in the file created above. Paste the following
-information and customize it to match your mail provider's information.
-
-#+begin_src sh
-nano ~/.maildir/.mbsyncrc
-#+end_src
-
-#+begin_src conf
-IMAPAccount example
-Host imap.example.com
-User dummy@example.com
-PassCmd "security find-generic-password -s mu4e-example -a dummy@example.com -w"
-Port 993
-SSLType IMAPS
-AuthMechs Login
-CertificateFile ~/.maildir/certificates/root-certificates.pem
-
-IMAPStore example-remote
-Account example
-
-MaildirStore example-local
-SubFolders Verbatim
-Path ~/.maildir/example/
-Inbox ~/.maildir/example/INBOX
-
-Channel example
-Far :example-remote:
-Near :example-local:
-Patterns *
-Create Near
-Sync All
-Expunge Both
-SyncState *
-#+end_src
-
-** SMTP
-Next, let's configured =msmtprc= in the file created above. Paste the following
-information and customize it to match your mail provider's information.
-
-#+begin_src sh
-nano ~/.maildir/.msmtprc
-#+end_src
-
-,#+begin_src conf
-defaults
-logfile ~/.maildir/msmtp.log
-tls_trust_file ~/.maildir/certificates/root-certificates.pem
-
-account example
-auth on
-host smtp.example.com
-port 465
-protocol smtp
-from you@example.com
-user you@example.com
-passwordeval security find-generic-password -s mu4e-example -a you@example.com -w
-tls on
-tls_starttls off
-
-account default : example
-#+end_src
-
-** Doom Emacs
-Finally, we need to configure Doom Emacs to use the proper packages and set some
-variables and functions.
-
-#+begin_src sh
-nano ~/.doom.d/config.el
-#+end_src
-
-#+begin_src elisp
-;; load packages and programs

-                  (mu4e-sent-folder . "/example/Sent")
-                  (mu4e-trash-folder . "/example/Trash")))))
-
-(setq mu4e-context-policy 'pick-first) ;; start with the first (default) context;

-(add-hook 'mu4e-compose-mode-hook

-            (save-excursion (message-add-header "Bcc:\n"))))
-
-;; mu4e address completion
-(add-hook 'mu4e-compose-mode-hook 'company-mode)
-#+end_src
-
-Be sure to sync Doom to update the current configurations.
-
-#+begin_src sh
-doom sync
-#+end_src
-
-If you have Doom open, execute =SPC h r r= to reload the new configurations.
-
-* Initial Sync
-Once you have configured all of the relevant files, you can perform an initial
-sync. Note that you can perform syncing within Mu4e itself afer this.
-
-#+begin_src sh
-mbsync -aV
-#+end_src
-
-Once you sync the data, you can index the emails.
-
-#+begin_src sh
-mu init -m ~/.maildir --my-address you@example.com && \
-mu index
-#+end_src
-
-The emails will now to be ready to use!
-
-* Screenshots
-
-You can now launch Doom and open Mu4e with =SPC o m=. You can also explore the
-Mu4e options with =SPC : mu4e=.
-
-The home page shows various options and metdata about the account you've opened.
