Laptop Setup
---------------

offlineimap synchronization to maildir, notmuch indexing, mutt-kr client.

What I want when online:

- instant (<1 seconds) email send
- with MUA open, instant (<1 seconds) email receive (IMAP IDLE)
- with MUA closed, regular (15 minute) imap synchronization, and single command
  to quickly synchronize and send any queued messages

What I want when offline:

- full email archive to search over, sort, reply, etc
- cache send messages to an outbox folder, to be sent later (or deleted before
  connecting)

Compile mutt-kr:

    $ sudo aptitude install offlineimap notmuch libgpgme11-dev libnotmuch-dev \
        libsasl2-dev libdb-dev
    $ # in mutt-kr checkout:
    $ ./prepare
    $ ./configure --enable-dependency-tracking --enable-notmuch \
            --enable-gpgme --enable-hcache --enable-imap --enable-smtp \
            --with-ssl --with-gnutls --with-sasl --with-curses --with-regex

Install and configure offlineimap:

    $ sudo aptitude install offlineimap

Fetch cacert [a la](http://docs.offlineimap.org/en/latest/FAQ.html#how-do-i-generate-an-sslcacertfile-file):

    $ openssl s_client -CApath /etc/ssl/certs -connect ${hostname}:imaps -showcerts \
       | perl -ne 'print if /BEGIN/../END/; print STDERR if /return/' > $sslcacertfile
       ^D
    $ # copy resulting file to /etc/ssl/certs
    $ # test with:
    $ openssl s_client -CAfile $sslcacertfile -connect ${hostname}:imaps 2>&1 </dev/null

Android Setup
---------------

K-9 mail client. No GPG configured.

Server Setup
---------------

Dovcot and postfix, installed mostly following "linode library" instructions.

Set dovecot's ``mail_max_userip_connections`` to ~40 or more if using K-9 mail,
or you'll get errors about "AUTHENTICATE PLAIN" This is because K-9 makes many
parallel connections.

mailman for mailing lists. or enemies-of-carlotta.

setup SPF records.
