re all

annunciazio'! annunciazio'!

been a while I wasn't announcing any software here. Somehow in the past years
I've preferred observing around what distros were doing (hoping they would pick
up some features from dyne:bolic, like docking and nesting) and developing some
internal components of the dyne:OS desktop.

This is one that I've developed and am using myself, to solve the long standing
problem of having a proper way to handle emails that is also easy to port around
on different computers. Here we go then with "Jaro Mail" (pun intended!)

This is console software based on extremely reliable technologies, one can run it
easily on Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora/CentOS but also on Apple/OSX. It will be the
main software for email in JaroMail, likely to have a graphical interface, but I
really recommend using the console here.

Hope you enjoy it :^) it goes well along with Tomb and soon integrating with
WebNomad for web archive publishing. Ciao!

*A commandline tool to easily and privately handle your e-mail*

Version: **2.0**

Updates on: http://dyne.org/software/jaro-mail

# INTRODUCTION

JaroMail is an integrated suite of interoperable tools for GNU/Linux
and Apple/OSX to manage e-mail communication in a private and efficient
way, without relying too much on on-line services, in fact encouraging
users to store e-mail locally.

Rather than reinventing the wheel, JaroMail reuses existing free and
open source tools working since more than 10 years:

 executable | function
 ---------- | --------------------
  ZShell    | scripting language
  Mutt      | Mail User Agent
  Fetchmail | Mail Transport Agent
  MSmtp     | the mini SMTP
  Mairix    | search engine
  ABook     | addressbook
  Elinks    | HTML rendering


A round-up on JaroMail features follows:

![JaroMail functions diagram](http://files.dyne.org/jaromail/diagram.png)

* Minimalistic interface with automatic threading
* Targets intensive usage of mailinglists
* Does whitelisting and integrates addressbooks
* Can do search and backup using easy expressions
* Automatically generates filter rules for procmail and sieve
* Computes and shows statistics on mail traffic
* Secure password storage (GPG native, OSX and Gnome keyrings)
* Stores e-mails locally in a reliable format (Maildir)
* Defers connections, all operations run off-line
* Checks SSL server certificates (imap, smtp)
* Supports strong encryption messaging (GnuPG)
* Can send completely anonymous emails (Mixmaster3)
* Is multi platform: GNU/Linux/BSD, Apple/OSX
* Old school, used by its author for the past 15 years

# INSTALL

**Apple/OSX** users can simply drag JaroMail into /Applications When
started JaroMail opens a Terminal window preconfigured with its
environment, to activate it for any terminal add this to
`~/.profile`:
```
. /Applications/JaroMail.app/Contents/MacOS/jaroenv.sh
```

**GNU/Linux** users can run `make` to install all needed components
(done automatically, requires root) and compile auxiliary
tools. Once compiled then `make install` will put JaroMail in
`/usr/local`.

The dependencies to be installed on the system for JaroMail are
* build: `bison flex make autoconf automake sqlite3 libgnome-keyring-dev`
* run: `procmail fetchmail msmtp mutt mairix pinentry abook wipe`

Bare in mind **you need to read the Manual**: this software is not
graphical, it is not meant to be intuitive, does not contains
eyecandies (except for stats on mail traffic). JaroMail is operated
via Terminal, configured in plain text and overall made by geeks for
geeks.

# Manual and usage instructions

For a brief overview see the commandline help:
```
jaro -h
```
When in doubt, make sure you read the User's Manual, it is important.
