mailstat

Command-line tool for analyzing an email inbox and producing various statistics.

With Gmail (see notes on Gmail):

cargo run -- --email ***@gmail.com --cache tmp/***.json --days 14

With Protonmail Bridge:

cargo run -- --email ***@proton.me --cache var/***.json --days 14 \
    --imap-host 127.0.0.1 --imap-port 1143 --imap-starttls \
    --smtp-host 127.0.0.1 --smtp-port 102

TODO

• Fork himalaya->imap->imap-proto to support stupid mu character in ProtonMail bridge
• Complain about the above to protonmail bridge repo
• Figure out how to work launchd

Issues

• DateTime parsing is wrong, value from Gmail is actually Utc not Local

Gmail

Must create a dedicated app password for use with less-secure apps on Gmail. Prefer the use of a shell tool to manage passwords such as pass (https://www.passwordstore.org/). The default shell command that mailstat uses is pass show mailstat/<email>.

Ensure that GPG_TTY is set so that the password input TUI can be shown.

GPG_TTY=$(tty)
export GPG_TTY
