vmail

| Sunday, December 19, 2010
vmail is a Vim interface to Gmail. Here are some (outdated) screenshots:

Why vmail? Because some people are 1000 times more efficient and happy in Vim than in any web browser or GUI program.

Prerequisites

  • a Gmail account
  • a relatively recent version of Vim (vmail is developed against Vim 7.3)
  • Ruby with SSL support compiled in (vmail is developed using Ruby 1.9.2)
  • RubyGems (if Ruby version is older than 1.9)
  • the lynx text-only-mode web browser is required to view HTML mail parts in vmail
  • The current version of vmail assumes a Unix environment. I'll try to make later versions accommodate Windows.

Your Gmail account should be IMAP-enabled.

If you want to use elinks to display HTML parts, here are instructions.

Installation

gem install vmail


Test your installation by typing vmail -h. You should see vmail's help.
