In Email Heaven with Emacs, mu4e, and mbsync

23 Nov 2021

All mail clients suck. This one just sucks less.
— Mutt

I was a long-time mutt user. Come to think of it, I think the reason why I learned Emacs was because that was what $EDITOR was set to, and I needed to know how to get around so I could send email via mutt.

As more of my life has gotten sucked into Emacs, I’ve wanted to move my email into Emacs as well. I’ve been using a combination of mu4e and isync/mbsync to manage my email. I’m using Pobox for email hosting, and my inbox has never been so consistently near empty before.
