Made mail dir synchronization simpler - only a couple of important directories will ever get synchronized to the local file system, but still containing basically all important incoming mails. Removed aerc and switched it for neomutt. aerc is very nice and needs little to no configuration but neomutt is, as of this moment, just more stable and mature. It opens quickly, never crashes, has a nice indexing and quick e-mail handling behavior and is incredibly customizable. Basically, once you put in some configuration effort, it is everything aerc isn't --- and that is good, both have their reasons for existing. It's just that mutt currently works better for me and will thus be the e-mail reader of choice from now on. |

e-mail module
aerc - terminal mail client isync - mirror your Imapped mail directory locally with two way synchronization notmuch - index and search your mail
The current mail setup uses mbsync (from the isync project) to locally mirror the GMail imap folder.
It, as of now, needs to be manually run by invoking mbsync gmail -- which expects your username and password to reside in a pass accessible file called misc/aerc-gmail-app-password.
In other words --- this is very specific to my setup and if transferring the options, please customize to your needs.
Then, notmuch can be run on the local maildir to generate and indexed full-text search engine.
Right now, notmuch can only be used through its cli, it is not yet connected to aerc.
aerc picks up the maildir created by mbsync in ~/documents/mail and works on it.
mbsync syncs any changes made back to the remote imap directory.
