[9fans] P9P gmail

[J.R. Mauro]

Hi,

I've gotten mailfs to work in plan9port with gmail's imap service, and
now I'd like to get smtp working so I can reply. Has anyone tried
this? Is there a way to do it? How about configuring Acme Mail to use
something other than marshal (say, mutt)?

Thanks in advance,
Jorden

I quail every time I hear the name "mutt". Its config file has beaten me more times than I care to remember, mostly because of it's sheer size. Besides, mutt is a mail client, not a replacement for sendmail.

That doesn't help. Ridiculously complex or not, I have a mutt that can
talk to gmail via smtp. I've tried following the basic guide on the
wiki for getting smtp to work, but it is plan9-specific and not very
instructive.

i ported all of upas to p9p at one point.  unfortunately the quality
of the port is not very good and the code is very old and mouldy.
/n/sources/contrib/quanstro/p9p/upas.tbz

a quick scan of the code says that for a p9p solution, you'll need
to get marshal working.  then you'll have to decide if you want to
port send and smtp or fight^w work with the local mailer.
