# INTRODUCTION
Jaromail is an integrated suite of interoperable tools for GNU/Linux,
Apple/OSX and MS/WSL 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 and remove it from servers.
Rather than reinventing the wheel, Jaromail adopts a set of robust
free and open source tools and integrates them automatically. It also
comes with a complete usage manual.
Overview of internal components:
executable | function
---------- | --------------------
ZSH | Shell interpreter
Neomutt | Mail User Agent
mSmtp | Mail Transport (send)
Fetchmail | Mail Transport (receive)
Vim | Mail editor
Mblaze | Maildir manipulation
GnuPG | Encrypt and sign
Mixmaster | Anonymity
Notmuch | Local Search engine
ABook | Local Addressbook
Elinks | HTML rendering

* Computes and shows statistics on mail traffic
* Encrypted password storage OS independent (pass)
* Advanced analysis tools and address extraction (mblaze)
* Group contacts into secret BCC: lists of recipients
* Checks fingerprints of SSL/TLS server certificates
* Can send anonymous emails (mixmaster)
* Renders HTML with links, without images (elinks)

* Multi platform: GNU/Linux/BSD, Apple/OSX, Microsoft/WSL
* Old school, used by its author for the past 20 years
# Install
Make sure you have installed the following dependencies on your operating system, they should be named in a similar way across distributions, here below the names of the packages are referring to those found in APT distros:
```
fetchmail msmtp neomutt notmuch pinentry-curses abook \
wipe mblaze vim netcat-traditional
```
To compile and install jaromail on your system as root:
```
make install
```
When Jaromail is installed system-wide, the `JAROMAILDIR`
environmental variable can be changed to point to where all emails
will be stored, by default it is `$HOME/Mail`.
Read the manual:
```
man jaromail
```
# Usage
For a brief overview see the commandline help:
```
jaro -h
```
When in doubt, make sure you read the [Jaromail usage manual](https://files.dyne.org/jaromail/jaromail-manual.pdf).
Note for experienced Mutt users: keys will be familiar, but there are
things to learn in the manual on how jaromail enhances the workflow.
