Email

My email messages are synchronised between the remote server and my computer with isync, I read them with neomutt and search index is built by notmuch.

After linking the dotfiles, there are only a few more things that need to be done.

Authentication

Each account must authenticate with an IMAP server and an SMTP server. The passwords, need be stored in the OS X keychain.

For Fastmail (or Gmail accounts with two-factor authentication enabled), use an application-specific password.

In order for all this to work, a few items have to be stored in the macOS keychain:

Create a "generic"(A.K.A. "application") keychain item (that is, without protocols, only hostnames):

For sending mail:

Repeat this for each account you want to add.

Synchronizing periodically

Incoming messages are fetched from the remote server when mbsync runs (the executable name for isync).

On macs I use launchd, on NixOS using systemd. You can check mail.nix.
