This is a proposal for a terminal gui for [notmuch mail][notmuch]
written in python using the [urwid][urwid] toolkit.
You can find some old screenshots in `data/alot*png`,
the files `INSTALL` and `USAGE` contain instructions on how to set it up,
use and customize. These files are nicely rendered in the [github wiki][wiki].
The API docs for the current master branch are [here][api].
the `docs` directory contains their sources.
Do comment on the code or file issues! I'm curious what you think of it.
You can talk to me in #notmuch@Freenode.
Be aware that the master branch is used only for releases and hotfixes,
the bleeding edge version sits in branch `develop`!.
If you'd like to contribute, please make sure your patches can be applied to that branch.
Current features include:
-------------------------
* spawn terminals for asynchronous editing of mails
* theming, optionally in monochromatic, 16 or 256 colours
* tag specific theming and tagstring translation
* a hook system to inject one's own python code
* python shell for introspection
* forward/reply/group-reply of emails
* multiple accounts for sending mails via sendmail
* tab completion for commands and querystrings
* priorizable notification popups
* database manager that manages a write queue to the notmuch index
* user configurable keyboard maps
* printing/piping of mails and threads
* addressbook integration (dev branch)
Soonish to be addressed non-features:
-------------------------------------
* encryption/decryption for messages
* search for strings in displayed buffer
* folding for message parts
* undo for commands
