One of the things I had really wanted to do in 2025 was get off of a bunch of Gmail accounts for various projects. I'm not quite ready to run my own mail server again and can't afford to migrate all of them to other services. My compromise was to at least get them all configured and synced locally in an IMAP client — you know, #LikeWeUsedToDo — so that I at least had full, offline access to the data, plus regular backups. Thanks to #ClawsMail, I had done that. Today I rounded up the stragglers.

Pretty proud of my second patch sent to the #ClawsMail team.

Hopefully, the next version of this MUA will have a largely improved #E2EE #UX:

  • a new config option in the #PGP plugins enable automatic online discovery of PGP keys (according to your existing gpg.conf auto-key-locate
  • whenever you recieve a mail signed by a public key missing (or expired) in your #GPG keyring, you'll have a button to trigger an online search for the key (either through #WKD or the older #keyserver based approach).
In the age of #ChatControl, I think it's time for PGP based end-to-end #encryption to be enabled by default in #email clients.

Most arguments against the complexity of the #WebOfTrust are moot, when applied to mail comunications. And given how easy is to deploy WKD protocol¹, key autodiscovery could seriously increase the amount of encrypted mails over the network, increasing people #privacy and heavily reducing the power of passive #surveillance.

#HTTPSEverywhere did not reduced global surveillance, but #PGP could!

Сегодня я смог починить проверку правописания в Claws Mail!

Оказалось, что помимо пакета enchant2 нужен ещё пакет enchant2-hunspell или enchant2-aspell если вы используете aspell. И соответствующие пакеты со словарями, конечно же.

Trying to switch email clients. I tried claws.

Impossible to connect to outlook for whatever reason. Can't solve the issue without digging through /opt/etc/whatever and I wont do that. Uninstalling.

@rl_dane A definite productivity boost!

Similar to copying/moving messages in #ClawsMail, which I've been using as my #GUI IMAP client under #OpenBSD this year. In turn, it reminds me of @atow's excellent #MsgFiler extention for #AppleMail, which I used for years under #MacOSX (these days, #macOS).

I keep being reminded I need a #ClawsMail plugin that sets the sender address to the addressee address when I click "reply" - do I need to write that myself?
