==== Emacs And Email ====

current setup (as of March 2016)
  * mail delivery - ''getmail'' via IMAP with ''maildrop'' for filtering/filing into local subfolders
  * mail reading/writing - ''mu4e'' in ''emacs''
  * sending - from within ''emacs'' using ''smtpmail'' (and ''smtpmail-stream-type 'ssl'') to connect to remote smtp server

some notes...

====mail delivery====

using ''getmail'' to deliver mail from remote server[s] to local maildir folders, with ''maildrop'' as a way of filing (filtering) messages into subfolders on the local machine.
