Hi,

At work we use Microsoft exchange for emails. I would like to
read/write emails from emacs.

Which package should I use ? I use doom.

Thanks

I'd be curious about your personal web research results on that topic
so far.

My understanding is that it would involve setting up something like
[davmail](http://davmail.sourceforge.net/index.html) to fetch mail

Yep - Second this. I use mbsync, mu4e, and davmail with no problems.

I used to search how to setup this a while ago but did not find a
clear, up to date, complete documentation.

Why use mbsync ? Davmail does not handle synchronisation itself ?

Here are a few tips for DavMail setup.

The Administrator might use non-standard OWA url, you can use
EWSEditor to find out the url.

The IMAP setup should set nnimap-stream to plain by default.

No davmail is just an interface for exchange protocol. You still need
something to actually fetch your mail.

- Here's my [mu4e setup](https://github.com/mclear-
tools/dotemacs/blob/master/.local/lambda-library/lambda-user/cpm-
setup-email.el)
- Here's [a useful
tutorial](https://www.chrislockard.net/posts/o365-mail-emacs-mbsync-
mu4e/)
- And [another one](https://macowners.club/posts/email-emacs-
mu4e-macos/)
- Pragmatic Emacs also has [a ton of
links](https://pragmaticemacs.wordpress.com/mu4e-tutorials/)
- A [short davmail tutorial](http://skybert.net/various/read-
outlook-365-email-in-your-favourite-email-client/)
- This [reddit thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/8q84dl/
tip_how_to_easily_manage_your_emails_with_mu4e/) is still relevant

With davmail you'll have to set it up with mbsync (or whatever) as
local host. But it is really very easy. So something like this:

```
    IMAPAccount Exchange
    Host localhost
    Port 1143
    User email@address
    PassCmd "security find-generic-password -s mbsync-pass -w"
    AuthMechs LOGIN
    SSLType NONE
    # Increase timeout to avoid o365 IMAP hiccups
    Timeout 120
    PipelineDepth 50
```

EDIT: added some more links

After install of mu, davmail, mbsync, mu4e, I receive emails but stuck
on sending emails.

Here is a callstack when I send en email :

     gnutls-peer-status(nil)
      nsm-verify-connection(nil "localhost" 1025 nil nil)
      network-stream-open-starttls("smtpmail" #<buffer *trace of SMTP
session to localhost*> "localhost" 1025 (:type starttls :return-list t
:warn-unless-encrypted nil :capability-command "EHLO cyprien-
yoga\15\n" :end-of-command "^[0-9]+ .*\15\n" :success "^2.*\n"
:always-query-capabilities t :starttls-function #f(compiled-function
(capabilities) #<bytecode -0x1ca1067b6a254c9d>) :client-certificate t
:use-starttls-if-possible t))
      open-network-stream("smtpmail" #<buffer *trace of SMTP session
to localhost*> "localhost" 1025 :type starttls :return-list t :warn-

      smtpmail-via-smtp(("cyprien.taque@cine.digital") #<buffer
smtpmail temp>)
      smtpmail-send-it()
      message-multi-smtp-send-mail()
      message--send-mail-maybe-partially()
      message-send-mail(nil)
      message-send-via-mail(nil)
      message-send(nil)
      message-send-and-exit(nil)
      funcall-interactively(message-send-and-exit nil)
      call-interactively(message-send-and-exit nil nil)
      command-execute(message-send-and-exit)

variables :

send-mail-function: smtp-send-it

smtpmail-smtp-service: 1025

smtpmail-smtp-server: localhost

davmail smtp server runs on port 1025

Am I missing something ?
