mail: Update to new neomutt structure
Updated notmuch to only be available for full-text search. Removed
complete afew configuration.

Added msmtp as mail sending agent.

Added structured neomutt configuration with custom bindings, built for
my personal gmail account, without any plaintext passwords revealed,
etc.

This is a reasonably well working mail setup,
which should provide a stable starting point for further refinements.

Additionally, added some functionality to `mail-check` script:
Allowed user to choose sync target for each run, by
passing in mbsync target (group/channel/..) as the argument.
Also, allows setting password file to use for script through env var,
and made imapfilter location less hard-coded to my system.

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.
