+## Manage your gmail account in emacs with mu4e
+
+There're a lot of combinations to manage your email with emacs, but this works for me. I've a backup and I can manage my daily email.
+
+The stack:
+
+* emacs
+* offlineimap
+* mu
+* mu4e
+
+### offlineimap
+
+#### install
+
+$ pacman -S offlineimap
+
+#### configure
+
+~/.offlineimaprc
+
+```bash
+[general]
+accounts = Gmail
+maxsyncaccounts = 1
+pythonfile = ~/.offlineimap.py
+
+[Account Gmail]
+localrepository = Local
+remoterepository = Remote
+
+[Repository Local]
+type = Maildir
+localfolders = ~/Maildir
+
+[Repository Remote]
+type = Gmail
+remoteuser = [email protected]
+remotepasseval = get_password_emacs("imap.gmail.com", "[email protected]", "993")
+realdelete = no
+
+folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername not in ['[Gmail]/Spam', '[Gmail]/All Mail', '[Gmail]/Starred', '[Gmail]/Important']
+
+holdconnectionopen = true
+keepalive = 60
+sslcacertfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
+```
+
+~/.offlineimap.py
+
+```python
+#!/usr/bin/python
+import re, os
+
+def get_password_emacs(machine, login, port):
+    s = "machine %s login %s port %s password ([^ ]*)\n" % (machine, login, port)
+    p = re.compile(s)
+    authinfo = os.popen("gpg -q --no-tty -d ~/.authinfo.gpg").read()
+    return p.search(authinfo).group(1)
+```
+
+~/.authinfo
+```bash
+machine imap.gmail.com login [email protected] port 993 password blabla123bla456
+machine smtp.gmail.com login [email protected] port 587 password blabla123bla456
+```
+With emacs, to encrypt this file:
+* M-x epa-encrypt-file (generate ~/.authinfo.gpg and remove original).
+
+#### launch
+
+$ offlineimap (here you can take a beer).
+
+### mu
+
+#### Install
+
+$ yaourt -S mu
+
+#### Launch
+
+$ mu index --maildir=~/Maildir
+
+### mu4e
+
+mu4e is installed by default with mu package. Only that you needs is load it in emacs.
+
+#### Configure
+
+in your .emacs, ~/emacs.d/init.el or whatever.
+
+Note: 
+* To send mails with smtpmail.el and use gnutls, we need install the package (pacman -S gnutls)
+
+```lisp
+(require 'mu4e)
+
+;; default
+(setq mu4e-maildir (expand-file-name "~/Maildir"))
+
+(setq mu4e-drafts-folder "/[Gmail].Drafts")
+(setq mu4e-sent-folder   "/[Gmail].Sent Mail")
+(setq mu4e-trash-folder  "/[Gmail].Trash")
+
+;; don't save message to Sent Messages, GMail/IMAP will take care of this
+(setq mu4e-sent-messages-behavior 'delete)
+
+;; setup some handy shortcuts
+(setq mu4e-maildir-shortcuts
+      '(("/INBOX"             . ?i)
+        ("/[Gmail].Sent Mail" . ?s)
+        ("/[Gmail].Trash"     . ?t)))
+
+;; allow for updating mail using 'U' in the main view:
+(setq mu4e-get-mail-command "offlineimap")
+
+;; something about ourselves
+;; I don't use a signature...
+(setq
+ user-mail-address "[email protected]"
+ user-full-name  "Toni Reina"
+ ;; message-signature
+ ;;  (concat
+ ;;    "Foo X. Bar\n"
+ ;;    "http://www.example.com\n")
+)
+
+;; sending mail -- replace USERNAME with your gmail username
+;; also, make sure the gnutls command line utils are installed
+;; package 'gnutls-bin' in Debian/Ubuntu, 'gnutls' in Archlinux.
+
+(require 'smtpmail)
+
+(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
