Everything in Emacs: E-Mail

Łukasz M.

So, another quick post in the vein of quick, Emacs-related content. I just set up E-Mail in Emacs with mu4e! That, I feel, is a great step in the journey to doing everything in Emacs. Albeit I still believe that I won’t ever switch to Emacs as my primary web browser or PDF viewer. Those two positions are firmly held by firefox and zathura respectively. Anyhow, Emacs is a great text-based interface and E-Mail is primarily a text-based medium, hence why I think that they are practically perfect for each other.

As a child of the 2000s, I grew up with E-Mail in-browser and never had the text-based experience that it was earlier. Ah I don’t know, but there is something so cool having everything offline, downloaded to your computer and edited in your favourite text-editor. So cozy! This is basically just me exulting about finally getting E-Mail in Emacs, but I really have been putting this off for a while and it has brought me great satisfaction to finally get it done!
