I sometimes notice that Emacs freezes up when I press a key like d to delete (adding the tag:trashing) for a couple of seconds. It's hard to track down, but I believe that I run into a conflict with a cron job updating the notmuch database, and Emacs waits for the notmuch tag change command to finish, which waits for the cron job to finish.
Does that sound likely? How do y'all debug and improve this?
@0x4d6165 notmuch. The coolest "trick", but also curse at the same time, in my opinion is to store all mail locally. Combined with local #orgmode files this can become a reliable autarkic knowledge base. Following a reference to an email from inside an org-mode file will always work immediately, no network request needed. Curse, because it requires custom setup to load mails into the system, and to sync metadata (notmuch's tags) between machines.
#Terminal#MUA question: Playing a bit around with #neomutt + #notmuch? Does someone know if there is a way to display and directly edit displayed notmuch tags from neomutt? And a way to display notmuch tags in the pager?
The funny things about really good software projects, that sometimes they are so good and complete already that there is no fuss around them, they just work and do the job done.
Mailing lists are quite, new commits are rare. Sometimes it can even feels that they are unmaintained or dead, but in fact they are more than alive.
I have a possibly tricky #licensing question for all of you people who are not my #lawyer. I have collected a corpus of #email1 to help tune #notmuch
There are about 200k messages collected from two public mailing lists and the Enron corpus. In a fit of public spirit I thought I should upload it as a dataset to https://zenodo.org. But I have no idea what license, if any to put on the data set. Anyone with similar experience? Somehow the Enron corpus ended up CC licensed, but I don't know if any lawyers were harmed in the making of that decision.
Jeg bruger #Emacs til at skrive tekst i. Drama, artikler osv., og jeg er vild med det. Jeg nyder eww når jeg skal slå noget op på nettet, uden at forlade interfacet helt. Jeg gad virkelig godt lære at bruge Emacs til emails også, men jeg kan ikke greje hvordan jeg får det sat op og får det til at køre. Har forsøgt et par gange med #GNUS og #Notmuch men jeg ved ikke hvad jeg skal forvente.
Er der mon nogen på #dkfedi der kan hjælpe? Eller som kender til en begynder venlig artikel?
:emacs: I fixed displaying of links in #Notmuch#email client for #Emacs: when hover cursor and copy.
🌐 I learned how to use standalone
obfuscation proxy obfs4 to private all Internet connections as socks5.
🐶 Here is amazing article: https://hamy.io/post/000d/how-to-hide-obfuscate-any-traffic-using-obfs4/
I learned more about Elisp: it have issues with readability because of
much flexibility and freedom to choose, but almost all programmers
don't leave comments. Self-documenting code should be a code with
human short documentations about main parts, not a #code that "you
think" is easy to understand. One small good program is as good as a
bunch of products.
I do miss some things from Gnus, but the more I use #notmuch in #emacs the more I like it. I didn't want to go to my terminal or vterm every time I want to get my mail, so I added a section to the hello screen with a button to call notmuch for me. Easy!
Anyone know of a standalone #FOSS#email#search engine with a web interface that's quick to set up? I need to search a mailbox that's far too big for client side searching.
Heard quite a bit about #notmuch for mail, I tried to set it up today, looked at the getting-started guide
"we'll just assume you already have messages in this format"
Well, time to give up ig
I wish there were some recommendations or guides for that, googling "getting email in maildir format" only results in explanations of the format and not much more
A while ago I had to use a Windows machine at work, and of course the first thing I did was install #Emacs on it. Most things worked surprisingly well, but I couldn't get #Mu4e to work. I also tried #NotMuch and #Mew, but I also failed to either install them or compile them.
At the end I tried #Gnus, and everything worked out of the box. I didn't even need to install any GNU utility.
Gnus is not the prettiest, and its terminology and configuration is confusing. But it is incredibly versatile.
It has worked very nicely as an Email email client, specially to manage mailing lists. But now I also use it for things like Reddit and Hackernews.
What are your experiences with Emacs mail clients under Windows? Is anyone using something other than Gnus?
