1 compound word: offlineimap
IMAP server on home machine. (preferably courier)
offlineimap on laptop to fetch/send(using courier)
mutt to send with:
mjb@toolbox:~> cat bin/mailout
#!/bin/sh
safecat /home/mjb/Mail/Outbox/tmp /home/mjb/Mail/Outbox/new
mjb@toolbox:~>
(the trick, is that courier is configured to send anything saved to that
box.. must be in 822 format, which mutt does.)
set up offlineimap to use localhost:1143, and run:
mjb@toolbox:~> cat bin/mailtunnel
#!/bin/sh
remotehost=your.mail.server
if [ -n "$DISPLAY" ]; then
exec rxvt -T Mailtunnel -ls +sb -rv -fn nil2 -geometry 5x5+1010+720 \
-e zsh -c "ssh -t -L 1143:${remotehost}:143 $host 'echo -e WWWWWWWWWWWWWWW;cat'" &
else
(exec ssh -L 1143:${remotehost}:143 $host 'sleep 1800') &
fi
mjb@toolbox:~>
(the W's make a nice little white square in the rxvt when the tunnel is up
and opened (I have a 1024x768 TFT))
mutt config:
macro pager <esc>f "!offlineimap\n" "Sync IMAP with local mail"
macro index <esc>f "!offlineimap\n" "Sync IMAP with local mail"
macro index <esc>F "!mailtunnel\n" "Start mail tunnel for offlineimap"
set sendmail="/home/mjb/bin/mailout" # how to deliver mail
set folder=~/Mail # where I keep my mailboxes
set spoolfile='+INBOX' # where my new mail is located
Thats it. Works for me(tm)
Mike.
