====== Configuration examples for paclink-unix email clients ======
===== Mozilla Thunderbird =====
  * [[https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2005-February/020961.html | movemail, postfix]] - from Ubuntu forums
  * [[http://askubuntu.com/questions/301988/using-movemail-with-thunderbird-on-ubuntu | Using Movemail with Thunderbird on Ubuntu]] - from Ask Ubuntu
==== Unix movemail config Steps ====
  - Edit > Account settings...
  - Select 'Movemail' option in account wizard, hit Next.
  - Set up user information - Your Name 'Jon Doe' <-- displayed name on emails.
  - Set email address to 'your_user_name_here at localhost' <-- no .com / .net / .org suffix.
  - Set 'Outgoing Server' to 'localhost'
  - Account name - I just set this to 'my_user_name at localhost'.
    * You can set it to 'local mail' or 'mail from my machine', etc. 
  - Now you will get a summary page that asks you to confirm the following information:
<file>
Account Name: my_account_name at localhost
Email Address: my_account_name at localhost
Incoming Server Type: MOVEMAIL
Outgoing User Name: my_user_name
Outgoing Server Name (SMTP): localhost
</file>

===== mutt and mail =====
  * Overview of [[wp>Mail_(Unix) | Mail]] & [[wp>Mutt_(e-mail_client) | Mutt]].
  * The latest version of mutt is [[https://www.neomutt.org/ | NeoMutt]]
    * [[http://www.mutt.org/ | Original Mutt e-mail client home page]]
  * [[http://www.ucolick.org/~lharden/learnmutt.html | Learning Mutt]]
==== Install mutt or mail ====
  * As root

<code>
apt-get install mutt
</code>
  * or install //mail// program
<code>
apt-get install mailutils
</code>
==== Configure mutt ====
  * [[plu:email_client_config:mutt:muttrc | Example .muttrc file]]
  * mutt has good [[http://www.mutt.org/#doc | documentation]]
  * cd to your home directory and confirm there is a //Maildir// directory
  * Setup up the rest of the mail directories
<code bash>
mkdir -p ~/Maildir/{,cur,tmp,new}
mkdir -p ~/Maildir/inbox/{,cur,tmp,new}
mkdir -p ~/Maildir/sent/{,cur,tmp,new}
mkdir -p ~/Maildir/drafts/{,cur,tmp,new}
mkdir -p ~/Maildir/trash/{,cur,tmp,new}
mkdir -p ~/Maildir/attachments/{,cur,tmp,new}
</code>
  * Copy the following mutt .muttrc config file to your home dir and personalize
    * **Do not run mutt until you have edited this file**: [[plu:email_client_config:mutt:muttrc| example .muttrc file]]
    * Make sure that you have configured you mail client Reply-To: to be a valid winlink address. ie:
      * Reply-To: ke7kro@winlink.org


==== Running mutt in a script or command line ====

  * Create a mail message in a text file
  * Subject follows -s in quotes
  * //mutt -c// allows specifying Carbon Copy addresses
  * Blind Copy (Bcc:) does not work in winlink e-mail
<code>
# send content of a file in body of e-mail
mutt -s "put subject line here" you@youremailid.com someoneelse@whatever.com < file_name_of_content
</code>
  * Another example doing the same thing
<code bash>
mutt -s "//WL2K R/ Test msg" callsign>@winlink.org < mail_message_file_name
</code>
  * Sending e-mail with an attachment
    * [[http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/sending-mail-with-attachment.html | Sending Email With Attachments From Unix / Linux Command [ Shell Prompt ]]]
<code bash>
mutt -s "//WL2K R/ Test msg" -a /tmp/file.tar.gz you@cyberciti.biz < /tmp/mailmessage.txt
</code>
  * Multiple attachments use -a for each attachment
<code bash>
mutt -s “//WL2K R/ Test msg” -a attach1 -a attach2 -a attach3 vivek@nixcraft.co.in < /tmp/mailmessage.txt
</code>
  * Send e-mail to multiple users, separate addresses with a comma
<code bash>
mutt -s “//WL2K R/” kg6geu@winlink.org, ke7kro@winlink.org  < /tmp/mailmessage.txt
</code>


==== Running mail in a script or command line ====

  * //mutt// and //mail// programs have similar syntax for the basic operation
    * //mutt -x// will emulate the mailx compose mode
  * **NOTE**: winlink mail is picky about the "From:" & "Reply-To:" fields so you need to set them explicitly

<code>
# send content of a file in body of e-mail
mail -s "//WL2K your subject line here" -a "From: yourcallsign@winlink.org" -a "Reply-To: yourcallsign@winlink.org" someonescallsign@winlink.org someregularemailaddress < file_name_of_content
</code>
  * Note in the example below you must use single quotes in the -s subject argument because of the forward slashes
<code>
# from command line or script
echo “This will go into the body of the mail” | mail -s '//WL2K cmd line test' -a "From: yourcallsign@winlink.org" -a "Reply-To: yourcallsign@winlink.org" some_regular_email_address
</code>
