+title: The S-nail mail client
+subtitle: And how to achieve a usable configuration for IMAP/SMTP
+date: 2020-04-30
+---
+
+TL;DR: Here's my [`.mailrc`](https://github.com/icyphox/dotfiles/blob/master/home/.mailrc).
+
+As I'd mentioned in my blog post about [mael](/blog/mael), I've been on
+the lookout for a good, usable mail client. As it happens, I found
+S-nail just as I was about to give up on mael. Turns out writing an MUA
+isn't all too easy after all. S-nail turned out to be the perfect client
+for me, but I had to invest quite some time in reading the [very
+thorough manual](https://www.sdaoden.eu/code-nail.html) and exchanging
+emails with its [very friendly author](https://www.sdaoden.eu). I did it
+so you don't have to[^read-man], and I present to you
+this guide.
+
+[^read-man]: Honestly, read the man page (and email Steffen!)---there's
+    a ton of useful options in there.
+
+## basic settings
+
+These settings below should guarantee some sane defaults to get started
+with. Comments added for context.
+```conf
+# enable upward compatibility with S-nail v15.0
+set v15-compat
+
+# charsets we send mail in
+set sendcharsets=utf-8,iso-8859-1
+
+# reply back in sender's charset
+set reply-in-same-charset
+
+# prevent stripping of full names in replies
+set fullnames
+
+# adds a 'Mail-Followup-To' header; useful in mailing lists
+set followup-to followup-to-honour-ask-yes
+
+# asks for an attachment after composing
+set askattach
+
+# marks a replied message as answered
+set markanswered
+
+# honors the 'Reply-To' header
+set reply-to-honour
+
+# automatically launches the editor while composing mail interactively
+set editalong
+
+# I didn't fully understand this :) 
+set history-gabby=all
+
+# command history storage
+set history-file=~/.s-nailhist
+
+# sort mail by date (try 'thread' for threaded view)
+set autosort=date
+```
+
+## authentication
+
+With these out of the way, we can move on to configuring our
+account---authenticating IMAP and SMTP. Before that, however, we'll
+have to create a `~/.netrc` file to store our account credentials. 
+
+(This of course, assumes that your SMTP and IMAP credentials are the
+same. I don't know what to do otherwise. )
+
+```netrc
+machine *.domain.tld login user@domain.tld password hunter2
+```
+
+Once done, encrypt this file using `gpg` / `gpg2`. This is optional, but
+recommended.
+
+```
+$ gpg2 --symmetric --cipher-algo AES256 -o .netrc.gpg .netrc
+```
+
+You can now delete the plaintext `.netrc` file. Now add these lines to
+your `.mailrc`:
+
+```conf
+set netrc-lookup
+set netrc-pipe='gpg2 -qd ~/.netrc.gpg'
+```
+
+Before we define our account block, add these two lines for a nicer IMAP
+experience:
+
+```conf
+set imap-cache=~/.cache/nail
+set imap-keepalive=240
+```
+
+Defining an account is dead simple. 
+
+```conf
+account "personal" {
+    localopts yes
+    set from="Your Name <user@domain.tld>"
+    set folder=imaps://imap.domain.tld:993
+
+    # copy sent messages to Sent; '+' indicates subdir of 'folder' 
+    set record=+Sent
+    set inbox=+INBOX
+    
+    # optionally, set this to 'smtps' and change the port accordingly
+    # remove 'smtp-use-starttls'
+    set mta=smtp://smtp.domain.tld:587 smtp-use-starttls
+
+    # couple of shortcuts to useful folders
+    shortcut sent +Sent \
+        inbox +INBOX \
+        drafts +Drafts \
+        trash +Trash \
+        archives +Archives
+}
+
+# enable account on startup
+account personal
+```
