I generally like Gmail, but there's something about well formatted, color highlighted plain text over a black background that appeals to me a lot. I'd like to be able to use Emacs to read/send email using my Gmail account, but setting it up is infuriatingly difficult. I tried a bunch of extensions and tutorials, but none of them gave me a fully working email setup for Emacs.
This is going to be my last try before I give up. I'm on Ubuntu 11.10, standard Unity shell, using Emacs 23.3. Please tell me once and for all how to get this to work.
I installed dovecot and it warned me that its "conf file does not belong to the current user". Not sure what to do with this. Also, I couldn't find the imap shell program. There's no imap file in /usr/lib/dovecot – EpsilonVector – 2011-12-08T06:52:54.030
I don't know how you installed dovecot. I use Debian, and the dovecot package from debian unstable (package dovecot-imapd) – Rémi – 2011-12-08T18:57:19.537
