Yes, one could call this configuration sub-optimal :)

However, since I have no control over the e-mail server, a workaround
using Mew would be nice.  For example, thunderbird has a setting "IMAP
server directory", which works.  Does anybody have an idea?

To me, it sounds like the imap server is broken or misconfigured.

[mew-int 3145] IMAP LIST

Thomas Danckaert — 2013-05-06T13:33:26

Hello,

when retrieving IMAP folders using "C-u Z", for one of my e-mail
accounts, mew returns a list of _all_ contents of my entire home
directory (e.g. ~/Pictures/cat.jpg, ...).  All these directories will
then appear when using tab-completion on an e-mail folder.  I would
prefer to get only the subfolders of ~/Mail", as that is where I
actually store my e-mail.

The IMAP command sent by mew is (for example)

wwik8226 LIST "" *

and to get the desired result, this should be

wwik8226 LIST "Mail/" *

Is it possible using Mew configuration?  For the NAMESPACE command, 
my server returns
"* NAMESPACE (("" "/")) NIL NIL"

I've looked at the corresponding function in mew-imap.el:

(defun mew-imap-command-list (pro pnm)
   (mew-net-status (mew-imap-get-status-buf pnm)
  "Listing"
  nil
  (mew-imap-secure-p pnm))
   (let* ((my-prefix (mew-imap-get-my-prefix pnm))
 (case (mew-imap-get-case pnm))
 (prefix-list (mew-imap-prefix-list case)))
     (mew-imap-message pnm "Collecting mailbox list...")
     (mew-imap-process-send-string pro pnm "LIST \"%s\" *" (or (and 
prefix-list my-prefix) ""))))

and it seems that "my-prefix" is always nil.

thanks,

Thomas Danckaert

[mew-int 3143] Re: Suggested method for reading HTML in Emacs?

Christophe TROESTLER — 2013-04-19T06:46:32

You need to install w3m and add something like the following to your
~/.emacs.d/init.el

(if (locate-library "mew-w3m")
    (progn
      (require 'w3m)
      (require 'mew-w3m)
      (setq mew-use-text/html t); decode HTML
      (setq mew-use-text/html-list nil)
      ;; Choose HTML by default (many broken mailers out there...)
      (setq mew-mime-multipart-alternative-list
      '("Text/Html" "Text/Plain" ".*"))
      ;; Bad "Apple Mail" attachments in multiplart/alternative; work
      ;; around that:
      (setq mew-disable-alternative-regex-list '("Apple Mail"))

      (setq mew-use-w3m-minor-mode t)
      (add-hook 'mew-message-hook 'mew-w3m-minor-mode-setter)

[mew-int 3141] mew-attach-duplicate bindscompletion-ignored-extensions to nil

Michael Ernst — 2013-04-15T15:04:35

Why does mew-attach-duplicate bind completion-ignored-extensions to nil?
This overrides a user's preferences as to which files to present when doing
completion.

(It also triggers a bug in Ubuntu's version of the w3m-el package.  w3m-el
includes an old version of regexp-opt.el that suffers an infinite recursion
when executing (regexp-opt nil).  I can work around that by running "sudo
apt-get remove w3m-el".)

[mew-int 3139] maildir configuration

Thomas Danckaert — 2013-03-23T14:37:53

Hello,

I'm having some trouble getting mew to work with a maildir.  I use getmail4 to download messages to a maildir at ~/gmail-archive

I have the following configuration in my mew.el

(setq mew-config-alist
      '(
      ;; various other mailboxes
        ("archive"
         ("proto" . "+")
         ("mailbox-type" . "mbox")
         ("mbox-command" . "incm")
         ("mbox-command-arg" . "-a -d /path/to/gmail-archive")
         )))

However, visiting +inbox; pressing s, and choosing "update" doesn't cause incm to fetch the messages from my maildir to +inbox.  When I run "incm" manually from a terminal like this:

~/Mail/inbox$ incm -u -d ~/gmail-archive/

the messages do end up in my inbox.  Does anybody have an idea where the problem might be?

[mew-int 3138] Re: handling multiple smtp settings in one config file

[Charles Muller <acmuller< at >l.u-tokyo.ac.jp> (2013-02-20 03:54:01 UTC)]


The meaning of that is:
If /mail-u-tokyo exists,
then (setq mew-smtp-port "25")
otherwise (setq mew-smtp-server "mail.l.u-tokyo.ac.jp")

which is not what you want.

Replacing if by when will fix this.

Compare  C-h f if RET  with  C-h f when RET  for the details.

[mew-int 3137] handling multiple smtp settings in one config file

Charles Muller — 2013-02-20T03:54:01

I'm trying to set up a way for the
mailer to use different SMTP settings from within the same configuration 
file (which I am syncing among my various machines) depending on which 
machine
it's running on. I found an Emacs function called file-exists which
is supposed to test for the presence of a file, and so I tried to use 
this by I am
putting a differently-named empty file in my root directory on the 
different machines
that is intended to trigger the change. What I've written is like this:

(if (file-exists-p "/mail-u-tokyo")
(setq mew-smtp-port "25")
(setq mew-smtp-server "mail.l.u-tokyo.ac.jp")
)

(if (file-exists-p "/mail-home")
(setq mew-smtp-port "587")
(setq mew-smtp-server "mail.so-net.ne.jp")
)


But it's not working (probably I don't understand the function of 
file-exists-p). Does anyone have advice as to what I am doing wrong? Or 
perhaps there's a better way of doing this?

[mew-int 3136] IMAP folder creation an Groupwise server

Bernhard Assmann — 2013-02-19T13:06:27

Hi,

I've got a problem creating a new IMAP folder on the server side. The server
is a Groupwise server. This is the output of the Mew debug buffer:

<=SEND=>
sxqq2483 UID COPY 388948 "New/Folder"

<COPY>
sxqq2483 NO UID COPY [TRYCREATE] Mailbox not found: New/Folder

<=SEND=>
hwnq2462 LOGOUT


And this is the output when I use a Cyrus IMAP server:

<=SEND=>
lxvo9220 UID COPY 24429 "New/Folder"

<COPY>
lxvo9220 NO [TRYCREATE] Mailbox does not exist


<=SEND=>
fpcf3579 CREATE "New/Folder"

<CREATE>
fpcf3579 OK Completed


<=SEND=>
klem2665 UID COPY 24429 "New/Folder"

<COPY>
klem2665 OK [COPYUID 1361277916 24429 1] Completed


The difference lies in the answer of the COPY command:

NO UID COPY [TRYCREATE] ...

vs.

NO [TRYCREATE] ...

Is it possible to handle the "UID COPY" answer as a valid pattern so that the
generation of the folder can go on?

Best regards

Bernhard

[mew-int 3134] preserving the original charset of a attach file

Kazu Yamamoto — 2013-02-12T04:42:40

Hello,

I have implemented a feature to preserve the original charset of a
attach file. Pulling from github and setting

(setq mew-draft-keep-text-charset t)

enables this feature. 

For instance, UTF-8 files are always attached as UTF-8 files if 
this feature is enabled. Only line delimiters are converted.

[mew-int 3132] Search based on recoll

Michael Steiner — 2013-01-26T16:24:34

Hi,

I'm a happy user of Mew for quite a while --- thanks to everybody
contributing to it! -- and used in the past Hyper Estraier for
searching mails which worked fairly well.

However, as i recently started indexing my system with recoll, with a
sub-index specially for mail, i wonder whether anybody has integrated
recoll into mew? Doing so would save me considerable disk-space (i
have email back 20 years :-) and/or save me from hacking mew-search.el
:-)

thanks

[mew-int 3131] Re: visual-line-mode in message buffers

Christophe TROESTLER — 2013-01-25T20:41:35

For writing, if you use visual-line-mode, then you should also use the
"flowed" format (C-c C-p C-f or use the menu).  Add to your
~/.emacs.d/init.el

(defun my-mew-use-format-flowed-hook()
  (if mew-use-format-flowed
      (progn
(auto-fill-mode 0)
;; wrap at words but show arrows in fringe:
(set (make-local-variable 'visual-line-fringe-indicators)
     '(left-curly-arrow right-curly-arrow))
(visual-line-mode 1)
)
    (progn
      (auto-fill-mode 1)
      (visual-line-mode 0)
      )))

(add-hook 'mew-draft-use-format-flowed-hooks 'my-mew-use-format-flowed-hook)


For reading, use "_" to switch line wrapping.


Best,
C.
