After a *lot* of scratching and testing, here is my setup:
- Gnus for news and mails: because there are too many things I miss in
other MUA. A simple example: quote only the selected region when
replying. This cannot be implemented easily in mu and notmuch.
- notmuch as a search engine: mu is really great (I used it the last
three months) but I cannot get used to mu4e. And starting mu4e with
a database of 100K emails takes two or three seconds.
- mbsync to sync imap folders as local maildirs: I used offlineimap
for several years and mbsync is just faster.
- postfix with smtp_sender_dependent_authentication to use various
smtp servers depending on the email I'm using. I see people use
msmtp and msmtp-mta, which I tried for a while, but I'm just too
impatient with the .3s you have to wait when sending. Will
reconsider in a decade, when Emacs has more asynchronous power :)
This is what I'm sticking too now and I'm fine.
I was fine for years with a dummy fetchmail+nnml setup... many
groups, many posting styles, no complexity.
Then I obeyed to the social pressure and moved to all the dovecot,
offlineimap, stuff -- and yes, OT discussions on the orgmode mailing
lists pushed me in this directions!
I must say that I was very frustrated for months that I didn't stick
longer to this setup. Especially because I don't use fancy phones and
I don't really need to go "mobile" or to sync many devices... but now
I'm a grown up and I can haz another device that I'll sync in peace.
