* doc: mention :search in aerc(1)Robin Jarry2023-06-292-2/+11
| | | | | | | | | :search is mentioned in the help of :filter of aerc(1), but is not "documented" which might be confusing for new users. Add a shallow entry that points to aerc-search(1). Signed-off-by: Robin Jarry <robin@jarry.cc> Reviewed-by: Inwit <inwit@sindominio.net>

* worker: add jmap supportRobin Jarry2023-06-214-8/+157
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for JMAP backends. This is on par with IMAP features with some additions specific to JMAP: * tagging * sending emails This makes use of git.sr.ht/~rockorager/go-jmap for the low level interaction with the JMAP server. The transport is JSON over HTTPS. For now, only oauthbearer with token is supported. If this proves useful, we may need to file for an official three-legged oauth support at JMAP providers. I have tested most features and this seems to be reliable. There are some quirks with the use-labels option. Especially when moving and deleting messages from the "All mail" virtual folder (see aerc-jmap(5)). Overall, the user experience is nice and there are a lot less background updates issues than with IMAP (damn IDLE mode hanging after restoring from sleep). I know that not everyone has access to a JMAP provider. For those interested, there are at least these two commercial offerings: https://www.fastmail.com/ https://www.topicbox.com/ And, if you host your own mail, you can use a JMAP capable server: https://stalw.art/jmap/ https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/download/installation/http/jmap.html Link: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8620.html Link: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8621.html Signed-off-by: Robin Jarry <robin@jarry.cc> Tested-by: Tim Culverhouse <tim@timculverhouse.com>

* save: new option for saving attachmentsVitaly Ovchinnikov2023-06-101-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new `-A` option to `:save` that works in the same manner as `-a`, but saves all the named parts of an email, not just attachments. The reason is that I have an email with this structure: multipart/related multipart/alternative text/plain text/html image/png (image001.png) image/png (image002.png) image/png (image003.png) text/plain (env.txt) Where the `env.txt` is a "real" attachment, while the images are just a part of the HTML version of the email. However, in this particular email it was important to see them which can't be done with text UI and opening the HTML part with the browser also didn't work. Saving them to a temorary folder did the job and this can be useful in other scenarios. So before the patch we could do `:save -ap /some/path` and get just the `env.txt` saved there. After the patch we could also do `:save -Ap /some/path` and get all the images and the text file saved into the folder.

* headers: enable partial header fetchingTim Culverhouse2023-05-161-0/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enable partial header fetching by creating config values for headers to specifically include, or specifically exclude. The References field will always be fetched, regardless of the include list. Envelope data is always fetched, but is not shown with :toggle-headers, since it isn't in the RFC822 struct unless explicitly included in the list. Partial headers can break the cache on changes. Update the cache tag key to include the state of the partially-fetched headers. Partial header fetching can have a significant performance increase for IMAP, and for all backends a resource improvement. Some data to support this is below. Gathered by opening aerc, selecting a mailbox with approximately 800 messages and scrolling to the end.

* ipc: allow triggering internal commands via IPCMoritz Poldrack2023-03-072-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to make automation easier, it's useful to be able to send commands to aerc via IPC. This can be done by calling the aerc binary followed by a colon and the command to run. For example: aerc :read && aerc :remark && aerc :archive month Security to ensure no malicious commands are run is deferred to the user. By default the socket is only writable by the user. This is considered sufficient as the potential harm an attacker gaining write-access to a user's session can cause is significantly greater than "can delete some emails". To ensure users with an according threat model, it is possible to disable command IPC. mailto-handling is unaffected even though it works over IPC as it is absolutely non-destructive.
