Mail & Calendar clients

[0xlua]

Here is a list of mail clients I want to try. To mark a client as complete, the following criteria has to be met:

• can connect via IMAP/SMTP or JMAP to mail.lua.one
• can send/receive mails
• can encrypt/decrypt/sign via my pgp key
• config is entirely in nix

Optional:

• works with OIDC/OAuth2

GUI

• Thunderbird: Everything works, but I have to nixify the config

TUI

• aerc: works perfectly
• meli: not yet tried
• himalaya: not yet tried
• TODO: calendar & contacts client

Web

• Official
• Bulwark Webmail
• JMAP Webmail

some todos:

Thunderbird:

• use https://codeberg.org/celenity/Dove
  • build seems to fail right now (July 10th)
• make sure connection to mail, calender and contacts work
  • should work, but stalwart auto-banned my ip... have to figure that one out
• use OAuth for login
  • right now i have to enter the app token once, which is also fine, but OAuth might be worth a try
• DDG Search, auto scrolling
• format plain text, messages in table view, reply above quote
• DNT, No Telemetry, no cookies
• automatic encryption, use external key, auto attach public key
  • somehow the external key is found in the settings, but can't be used to encrypt mails

aerc:

• open plain & html mails
• verify mail-check works
• enable desktop notifications

gpg:

• best way to find public keys: gpg --locate-keys <email>, e.g. in https://keys.openpgp.org/
• then trust key: gpg --edit-key <email>, somehow only trust 5 works?
• maybe use sq (Sequoia) and/or gpg-sq (Sequoia OpenPGP)
