I use pass to store my passwords. It uses git and gpg for that and is awesome.
intialize store and add a passwd
pass init
pass add mail/gmail
The passwd can be accessed using pass mail/gmail.
My .profile contains the following line to start a SSH/GPG agent which caches the password to unlock my gpg key.
export `gnome-keyring-daemon -s`
http://isync.sourceforge.net/mbsync.html
To synchronize mailboxes.
My ~/.mbsyncrc looks something like the following.
It uses PassCmd to get the imap passwords from pass.
IMAPAccount gmail
Host imap.gmail.com
User [email protected]
PassCmd "/usr/bin/pass mail/gmail"
SSLVersions TLSv1.2
SSLType IMAPS
CertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
IMAPStore gmail-remote

MaildirStore gmail-local

I use afew for tagging.
My ~/.config/afew/config looks like this.
[global]
[SpamFilter]
[KillThreadsFilter]
[ListMailsFilter]
[ArchiveSentMailsFilter]
sent_tag = sent
# add specific tags
[Filter.0]
query = 'subject:alot'
tags = +alot
message = alot mails
[Filter.1]
query = 'to:[email protected] AND (subject:emacs OR subject:elisp OR "(defun" OR "(setq" OR PATCH)'
tags = -inbox;-new;+notmuch
message = notmuch emacs stuff
[HeaderMatchingFilter.0]
header = subject
pattern = .*CfP.*
tags = +C4P;-inbox;-new
message = call for papers
# what's still new goes into the inbox
[InboxFilter]
I use the script below to check and index new mails from cron (and sometimes manually). It accesses passwords through the running gpg-agent.
It will sync all accounts configured for mbsync
for which there is an equally named file in $ACCOUNTDIR.
This allows me to temporarily disable polling specific accounts by removing/touching
the file $ACCOUNTDIR/accountname.
#!/bin/bash
#
# Download and index new mail.

I have a binding to this script in alot as well, to trigger it manually:
[bindings]
% = "shellescape '/home/pazz/bin/pullmail.sh'; refresh"
My `~/.msmtpc' looks like this.
account gmail
host smtp.gmail.com
from [email protected]
auth on
tls on
tls_certcheck off
user [email protected]
passwordeval /usr/bin/pass mail/gmail
port 587
account other
host smtp.other.com
from [email protected]
auth login
tls on
tls_min_dh_prime_bits 512
user [email protected]
passwordeval /usr/bin/pass mail/other

I have a small custom polybar widget that shows an envelope in varying colour depending on my inbox:
My ~/.config/polybar/config contains the following.
modules-right = mailicon mailicon-unread mailcount
[module/mailcount]
type = custom/script
interval = 1
format-padding = 0
label = %output:0:2%
exec = ~/.config/polybar/mail count
click-left = ~/.config/polybar/mail alot
click-middle = echo middle
click-right = echo right
[module/mailicon-unread]
type = custom/script
interval = 1
format-foreground = ${colors.background-highlight}
exec = ~/.config/polybar/mail icon-unread
click-left = ~/.config/polybar/mail alot
click-middle = echo middle
click-right = echo right
[module/mailicon]
type = custom/script
interval = 1
format-foreground = ${colors.foreground-alt}
exec = ~/.config/polybar/mail icon
click-left = ~/.config/polybar/mail alot
click-middle = echo middle
click-right = echo right
~/.config/polybar/mail is this simple script, which gets infor from notmuch and prints some icon:
#!/bin/bash
QUERY="is:inbox and not tag:killed"
IMG=""
#"🖂"
UNREAD=$(notmuch count $QUERY and is:unread)
if [ $1 = "count" ]; then
echo $(notmuch count $QUERY)
elif [ $1 = "icon" ]; then
if [ $UNREAD = "0" ]; then
echo $IMG
else
echo ""
fi
elif [ $1 = "icon-unread" ]; then
if [ $UNREAD != "0" ]; then
echo $IMG
else
echo ""
fi
elif [ $1 = "alot" ]; then
urxvt -e alot search $QUERY &
fi
