mailer

mailer

Fast and lean vi-style terminal email reader

Getting Started

Installing/updating:

$ go get -v -u github.com/r00tman/mailer

Now you have mailer in $GOPATH/bin (which is usually ~/go/bin).

If you haven't already, you can add $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH by appending this to .bashrc/.zshrc/etc.:

export PATH="${GOPATH:-$HOME/go}/bin:$PATH"

You may want to install w3m, since it is required to read html emails.

Now you can just run the app:

$ mailer

BTW, feel free to alias/symlink mailer to ml (or whatever you like), since it is much quicker to type.

Usage

Most keybindings are vi/w3m style.

This means that:

• jk/Down Up are for down, up (numbers work too, i.e., 10j scrolls 10 lines down),
• hl/Esc Enter/Left Right are for closing, opening emails and mailboxes,
• r is for toggling the read status of the selected message (works in the message viewer too),
• q/:q are for quitting,
• PgUp PgDown/Ctr-U Ctr-D/{ }/b Space are for page scrolling,
• gg G/Home End are for getting to the start and to the end,
• Ctrl-L/; aligns view to the selection (cycles between modes when pressed repeatedly),
• /? are for forward, backward search,
• nN are for next, previous search match.

Tip: You can scroll to the text/html part by typing /html<Enter><Ctrl-L>.
