-== Fast Storage ==
+== Using mutt to read your gmail with IMAP ==
-The default storage location for your redbrick files is the large storage array on minerva. This would be great for keeping your porn (if we allowed that) but it's not as fast as the smaller storage array on deathray. Normally the speed difference isn't noticeable, but when you have thousands of emails, it starts to cause problems. To move your mail to faster storage you'll need to email the admins, and ask for space there.
+=== Proxy ===
+Mutt will need to be launched with <tt>tsocks</tt> to get around the DCU proxy.
+ alias mutt='tsocks mutt'
-Once you've got fast storage set up you'll need to run the following commands to symlink to your Maildir:
+=== muttrc ===
+ set from = "Your Name <your_email@gmail.com>"
+ set imap_user = "your_email@gmail.com"
+ set folder = "imaps://imap.gmail.com:993"
+ set spoolfile = "=INBOX"
+ set postponed = "=[Gmail]/Drafts"
+ set header_cache=~/.mutt/cache/headers
+ set message_cachedir=~/.mutt/cache/bodies
+ set move = no
+ set pager_index_lines=10
+ set sort=threads
+ set markers=no
+ set timeout=300
+ macro index q '<change-folder>?<toggle-mailboxes>'
+ macro browser q '<exit><quit>'
+ bind index G imap-fetch-mail
+ bind browser G check-new
+ mailboxes =INBOX =Facefuck =rb
-This moves your Maildir into your fast-storage account
- mv Maildir /fast-storage/users/<first letter of your username>/<username>
-This creates a symlink to it
- ln -s /fast-storage/users/<first letter of your username/<username>/Maildir ./Maildir
-To check it's worked properly run:
- ls -al Maildir
-And you should get something like:
- lrwxrwxrwx 1 haus committe 34 2009-04-22 15:56 Maildir -> /fast-storage/users/h/haus/Maildir
-Only with your account name ;)
-And that's it. Done \o/
