I have been using KDE for a while, while I like many features I am looking for suggestions to the default email client:
Kmail - completely unusable for me and the only one which could maybe be integrated with kontacts, it could not receive mails from IMAP or pop or would receive only sometimes
Geary - good but too minimal, I need at least some kind of contact list and mailing lists feature, maybe this integrates with gnome contacts? I couldn’t find anything in settings
Has anyone got gmail or outlook working via SMTP in the past couple years? I was using the former with emacs gnus and then it started demanding additional auth that I couldn’t provide via a simple file, then in the past 6 months the latter stopped letting me log in.
My
~/.gnusfile was like this -setq user-mail-address "my.name@hotmail.co.uk" user-full-name "My Name") (setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "outlook" (nnimap-address "imap-mail.outlook.com") (nnimap-server-port 993) (nnimap-stream ssl))) (setq smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp-mail.outlook.com" smtpmail-smtp-service 587 gnus-ignored-newsgroups "^to\\.\\|^[0-9. ]+\\( \\|$\\)\\|^[\"]\"[#'()]")~/.authinfo(encrypted with gpg) -machine imap-mail.outlook.com login my.name@hotmail.co.uk password **** port 993 machine smtp-mail.outlook.com login my.name@hotmail.co.uk password **** port 587I think I might need to start hosting my own email server because every authentication option on these services requires some extra step or fingerprinting that gnus can’t provide. Maybe I should give up and try Thunderbird to see if that would work.
Ok going to try Thunderbird tomorrow and if it works then I’ll see if I can reverse engineer whatever it does into gnus
