Hello Daniel It was interesting to see someone else in the thread refer to a similar setup. (Look at 7v5w7go9ub0o earlier.) They use a disposableVM to process the mail. I use a number of different mail servers: like you I use mutt and offlineimap,(and rsync and notmuch). I use mini templates in different flavours, mailcaps to open files in disposableVMs. (Lots of people will hate everything about this.) I use more than one TorVM. I have multiple dispVMTemplates, some online and some not. A mail archive is not network connected and is based on a mini template. Like 7v5w7go9ub0o I use simple scripting - fire up disposableVM, run rsync/offlineimap, qvm-move mailfile in to reader. Process mail, with any attachments opened in disposableVM, as you do, using Split GPG. Outgoing mail is copied to a mailqueue in another qube, and sent from there. As far as use is concerned, it just feels like any other mutt session. Everything is scripted, (and tied together with bits of string) but it works. The only difference from what you are doing is that your mutt qube is network connected. and mine isn't. Of course, in other cases I'll ssh to a box and use mail from there - or use some webmail - that's straight forward I'm sure there are many users doing something similar. unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
