I use curl in my Lua program to get new mail list. I am trying to send request like this

local head_command = "curl --connect-timeout 30 -fsm 30"
local server       = "imap.gmail.com"
local mail         = "***"
local password     = "***"
local port         = 993
local request      = "-X 'FETCH 86 BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (SUBJECT)]'"
local curl = string.format("%s --url 'imaps://%s:%s/INBOX' -u %s:%q %s -k", head_command, server, port, mail, password, request)
helpers.async(curl, function(stdout, exit_code)
  naughty.notify { text = stdout, timeout = 0 }
end )

But only I get is

* 86 FETCH (BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (SUBJECT)] {54}

And I get response like this for any FETCH command. I can get message HEADER if specify UID in url directly like

imaps://%s:%s/INBOX;UID=86/;SECTION=HEADER

It outputs this

But how can I get message SUBJECT this way?

Using Raspbian and Ubunntu 16.04 LTS so need a generic Linux solution. Requirement is simple: **I need a way to send one-line email messages from the command line.** I have set up a gmail account just for this particular Rpi3, with the address of rpi3abc@gmail.com - with no 2FA So now I need to be able to send one-line mail messages from anywhere (including cron) without user intervention. ----------------------- I also would like it to be able to send text files; basically, anything from stdin.

Looking to manually save quantities of e-mail in batches so that they're deleted and expunged from Gmail to free up space. From Alpine the error message received is: [No messages expunged from folder "[Gmail]/All Mail"] Moving these messages to Gmail/Trash will enable expunge to function correctly. Presumably this is a safety feature of Google? Preventing deletion of e-mail in the All Mail directory over IMAP would seem to be a configuration of Gmail. Aside from running dovecot and postfix, are there other suggestions? The mail as from Alpine: Dir: [Gmail]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All Mail[/] Chats[/] Drafts[/] Important[/] Sent Mail[/] Spam[/] Starred[/] Trash[/]

*Why the random down-vote? At least say what the problem with the question is.* ----------------- I'm using Gmail and Alpine for e-mail with IMAP. Mail sent from Alpine has this field: X-Google-Original-From: foo whereas it should be my Gmail address, of course. where can I explicitly set this value with Alpine? see : Configuring other Headers If you want to configure the value of a header that does not appear in the above list, you will need to edit your configuration file. The way to do this is by going to the configuration screen and adding the following text to the Customized Headers option: Customized Headers = Header_name: Value The Value part above is not required, nor is the colon after the Header_name. Here are some examples of possible additions you may want to consider Customized Headers = From: "Your Name" , Reply-To: "Your Name" , Control:, Status:, X-Status: But this is an "x header" value. -------------------- new info: Seems like setting "use sender instead of x-x sender" helps with forcing Google to use the gmail address. This is manually entering a full e-mail into the "from" header when composing. Perhaps there's a way to autopopulate that? Still testing how that works.

I've recently migrated from mutt to neomutt, and have at the same time been moving from accessing my mailboxes live through IMAP to working with local frequently-synced copies, with a notmuch database. I have both an Outlook (work) address and a Gmail (personal) address. The outlook mail I'm syncing with davmail and OfflineIMAP, and AFAICT it's working well. It's the GMail that's giving me grief; I'm syncing it with lieer which seems to for the most part do a good job, but I'm having a really difficult time with handling the process for message deletion. I can't find anyone else with this specific problem, so I'm guessing the answer is something stupidly simple I'm doing wrong. I'm basically trying to follow more-or-less the workflow described here , although I'm not even trying to use lieer to send mail. The issue AFACT is that neomutt seems to follow one of a few behaviors with regard to what "deleting" a message means, and none of them seem to play quite right with the kind of thing lieeer wants to see to ensure a message is trashed cloudside. Here are the prospects I've looked at: * maildir_trash set to "no", trash unset. AFAICT, this setting makes neomutt unlink (as in, remove the associated file in the appropriate Maildirs) the message. Since lieer won't/can't push deletions (which is probably a good thing), that doesn't remove the messages cloudside on sync. * maildir_trash set to "no", trash set. This is what I used to do, because IMAP connection to GMail provided a [Trash] folder. lieer seems to bring everything in with one monolithic maildir folder (called "mail", and within the lieer working directory), so unless there's a clever way to do this so that trash is a tag rather than a directory, it still doesn't seem to do what I want; changing the path to a message file seems like it would resemble a deletion to lieer, since it would take it out of the lieer sync path. * maildir_trash set to "yes". This seemed really pretty promising, because it seemed like it would set a flag rather than relocate the file, leaving it in the right directory but flagged as trash. Unfortunately, that flag never seems to make it to notmuch (this is apparently by design ) and thus never makes it to lieer. I could add another layer of byzantine automation to translate the flag myself, but I assume if that were necessary someone else would have talked about it. A nonzero number of other people use lieer, notmuch, and neomutt, and nothing I've searched on suggests others have this problem, which suggests I've somehow broken something configured correctly by default? I include below an anonymized version of my .notmuch-config and most of my .neomuttrc (there's a lot of code to color various specific message patterns which I've elided, as it's probably not relevant):

For 15 years I've been forwarding email from my lab's mail server to gmail using a .forward file that has nothing but a single line containing my gmail address, and it has worked fine until recently. Suddenly gmail is (sometimes) rejecting mail people send me because it fails an SPF check. I checked the mail headers and something really strange seems to be happening. Google is treating my lab's server as if it's trying to send email from the sender's domain. For example, here is part of a header that shows up when I send an email from my yahoo account to my lab's account: spf=neutral (google.com: \ is neither permitted nor denied by domain of pat_morin@yahoo.com (Here, \ is the IPv4 address of my server that I don't want to post.) To me this suggests that gmail thinks \ is trying to pretend to be sending email from a yahoo.com address, which it's not. It's just forwarding it, which is clear from the headers. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

I've configured 2-Step Verification with my Google accont (under https://myaccount.google.com/security) . Emails with OAuth 2 seem to come through fine but I keep getting "Failed to connect calendar “my.mail@gmail.com : MyName” Data source “MyName” does not support OAuth 2.0 authentication and Failed to connect address book “my.mail@gmail.com : Contacts” why is this and how can I fix that? I'm using Evolution 3.34.1

I have been sending emails from my server for 3 years now all of a sudden the emails bounce when sent to a gmail address - all other addresses are fine - I do not have a rDNS - my score with mailtester is 8.9

From May 30, 2022 : > Google no longer supports the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password. This is a problem for various applications including git send-email . sendgmail is tool from Google written in go which allows to use OAuth2 credentials. Using sendgmail requires certain configuration in Google Cloud , download JSON with configuration and rename to ~/.sendgmail.json and then run once: $ GOPATH/bin/sendgmail -sender=USERNAME@gmail.com -setup 1. Ensure that you are logged in as USERNAME@gmail.com in your browser. 2. Open the following link and authorise sendgmail: https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth ?... 3. Enter the authorisation code: My ~/.sendgmail.json contains redirect_uris":["http://localhost"], therefore clicked website is redirected to localhost (no webserver is on my machine) and I don't get the authorisation code. Could anybody explain what exactly to do in Google Cloud setup to get it working?

I'm on ubuntu 20.04 and use alpine as my email client for gmail. About a week ago I had to change the authentication method from user-password to xoauth2 due to gmail disabling secure apps (meaning I have to set up an id and secret). This worked fine till today when I got this error message:

IMAP protocol error: Client aborted AUTHENTICATE command.

Runing alpine with debug options give me this:

Looking around in google haven't give me any hints so far as to what the issue can be. Also, I can't access alpine site (https://alpine.x10host.com/) . The important stuff of .pinerc are:

smtp-server : smtp.gmail.com:465/ssl/auth=xoauth2/user=user@gmail.com
           inbox-path : {imap.gmail.com:993/ssl/auth=xoauth2/user=user@gmail.com}INBOX
     postponed-folder : {imap.gmail.com:993/ssl/auth=xoauth2/user=user@gmail.com}[GMAIL]/Drafts

I also tried the smtp-server with tls and port 587. EDIT: Kind of testing out, I deleted .pine-passfile to do the authorization again. That worked, meaning I can access gmail now, but I have to re-do the whole process every time since there is no .pine-passfile created now.... Any ideas?

I want to switch from Thunderbird to (Neo)mutt, because I would like to read my mail in a terminal (offline). I have a gmail account and just can't figure out how to setup Mutt properly. I have setup isync in a way that syncs: - gmail's "Inbox" to a local "Inbox" folder - "[Gmail]/All Mail" to a local "Archive" folder and - "[Gmail]/Trash" to a local "Trash" folder This seems to work. I usually read my email in the local Inbox and want to keep it clean. After reading a message, I want to either archive it or delete it. And I would like to have a simple keybinding for each of these two actions. So for example: - pressing "A" should remove a message from the inbox, but leave it in my archive - pressing "D" should remove a message from the inbox and from the archive, but should put in Trash Deleting a message from Trash should permanently delete a message. And of course this should be reflected in gmails web application and on my android phone. The following lines are in my neomuttrc file.

set mbox   = "+archive"
set trash  = "+trash"
unset move
bind index D delete-message
bind index A purge-message

Now, when archiving a message with "A", it's marked as deleted in my inbox in Neomutt and after syncing the mailbox and running isync the message also disappears from my Inbox in Thunderbird, but I can still see it in the inbox in gmails web app and in the inbox on my phone. I don't understand way. Any ideas? Deleting from my Inbox in Mutt seems to work (it just needs two runs of isync, which I do understand). But deleting messages from Trash in Mutt, does not delete these message from the Trash in the web app or on my phone. I don't get that either. Again, any ideas? Well, any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I am attempting to setup so I can mail from Raspbian. When I attempt to send I get an error ssmtp: Cannot open smtp.gmail.com:587 (I also tried port:465) I have set "Access for less secure apps" on Google and can send/receive from the account on Thunderbird. I have installed ssmtp and configured /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf to contain:- # Config file for sSMTP sendmail # # The person who gets all mail for userids < 1000 # Make this empty to disable rewriting. root=xxxxxx.raspberry.pi@gmail.com # The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required no # MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587 AuthUser=xxxxxx.raspberry.pi@gmail.com AuthPass=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx UseTLS=YES UseSTARTTLS=YES # Where will the mail seem to come from? rewriteDomain=gmail.com # The full hostname hostname=xxxxxx.raspberry.pi@gmail.com # Are users allowed to set their own From: address? # YES - Allow the user to specify their own From: address # NO - Use the system generated From: address FromLineOverride=YES I have also configured /etc/ssmtp/revaliases to contain:- # sSMTP aliases # # Format: local_account:outgoing_address:mailhub # # Example: root:your_login@your.domain:mailhub.your.domain[:port] # where [:port] is an optional port number that defaults to 25. root:xxxxxx.raspberry.pi@gmail.com:smtp.gmail.com:587 Any suggestions? ---------- Edit The settings above based on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SSMTP I have done some further testing. 1. I selected a different SMTP server, which worked. (I do not want to use this, as it is only available when directly connected to my ISP.) 2. I tried setting an Application Specific password, and got the response"The setting you are looking for is not available for your account". (Presumably because this account does not have 2-factor authentication.) The gmail account I am trying to use was specifically created to send messages from the Raspberry Pi.

I am trying to get all my system emails to be forwarded to my gmail address, using msmtp 1.8.3 and /etc/aliases on debian. It works, but I get errors from gmail. When I email root (via echo "hello world" | mail -s "forward me" root), I obtain 2 emails in the inbox of the gmail address: 1. The expected forwarded email 2. The following message from mailer-daemon@googlemail.com

Address not found
Your message wasn't delivered to root@backupbox because the domain backupbox couldn't be found. Check for typos or unnecessary spaces and try again.
The response was:

DNS Error: 5452395 DNS type 'mx' lookup of backupbox responded with code NXDOMAIN Domain name not found: backupbox

Obviously, it is not surprising that gmail cannot reach root@backupbox, since from their perspective, backupbox is not a fully qualified domain name. I am however surprised, because I aliased all my system addresses to my gmail address. Here is my msmtp configuration: # /etc/msmtprc defaults port 587 tls on tls_trust_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt account gmail host smtp.gmail.com from me@gmail.com auth on user me password xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx account default : gmail aliases /etc/aliases Here are my system aliases # /etc/aliases default: me+backupbox@gmail.com How do I make sure that only the first email reaches me? For example, can msmtp rewrite root@backupbox as me@gmail.com?

Some important service: [Unit] ... OnFailure=status-email@%n.service

-email@.service

: [Unit] Description=status email for %i to user [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/systemd-email.sh %i User=root Group=systemd-journal [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target I'm getting error

-email.sh: ssmtp: Cannot open smtp.gmail.com:587

I can send mail manually

./systemd-email.sh $RECIPIENT $SERVICE_NAME

It's also working as cronjob. My

/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf

: root= mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:465 FromLineOverride=YES AuthUser= AuthPass= UseTLS=YES Why cron can send mail in this setup but systemd cannot?

Apologies if this is not the right place to ask. My email address is "myname@gmail.com", but I subscribed (to several Debian mailing lists ) with the email "myname+web@gmail.com" (I'm 99% sure). I think because of the "+ trick", the system fail to unsubscribe me. I've tried the unsubscription forms and the alternative methods but nothing worked. I didn't find an email contact to write to either. What should I do?
