1.5 Configuration

To execute Mew, the followings are necessary either in the site configuration file or in your "~/.emacs".

 
(autoload 'mew "mew" nil t)
(autoload 'mew-send "mew" nil t)

;; Optional setup (Read Mail menu for Emacs 21):
(if (boundp 'read-mail-command)
    (setq read-mail-command 'mew))

;; Optional setup (e.g. C-xm for sending a message):
(autoload 'mew-user-agent-compose "mew" nil t)
(if (boundp 'mail-user-agent)
    (setq mail-user-agent 'mew-user-agent))
(if (fboundp 'define-mail-user-agent)
    (define-mail-user-agent
      'mew-user-agent
      'mew-user-agent-compose
      'mew-draft-send-message
      'mew-draft-kill
      'mew-send-hook))

If you are using Emacs with the –unibyte option or the EMACS_UNIBYTE environment variable for Latin-1, put the following into your "~/.emacs".

 
(set-language-environment "Latin-1")
(set-input-method "latin-1-prefix") ;; or "latin-1-postfix"

If you use the following configuration for Latin-1, please remove it. This is an obsolete handling of Latin-1 that can cause Mew to function incorrectly.

 
(standard-display-european 1)

When booting, Mew reads the file "~/.mew.el". All Mew configurations should be written in this file.

To configure your e-mail address, the followings are necessary.

 
;; (setq mew-name "your name") ;; (user-full-name)
;; (setq mew-user "user name of e-mail address") ;; (user-login-name)
(setq mew-mail-domain "domain of e-mail address")

To send e-mail messages by SMTP, the following is necessary.

 
(setq mew-smtp-server "your SMTP server")  ;; if not localhost

If you want to use POP to receive e-mail messages, the followings are necessary.

 
;; (setq mew-pop-user "your POP account")  ;; (user-login-name)
(setq mew-pop-server "your POP server")    ;; if not localhost

If you want to use a local mailbox to receive e-mail messages, the followings are necessary.

 
;; To use local mailbox "mbox" or "maildir" instead of POP
(setq mew-mailbox-type 'mbox)
(setq mew-mbox-command "incm")
(setq mew-mbox-command-arg "-u -d /path/to/mbox")
;; If /path/to/mbox is a file, it means "mbox".
;; If /path/to/mbox is a directory, it means "maildir".

If you want to use IMAP to receive e-mail messages, the followings are necessary.

 
(setq mew-proto "%")
;; (setq mew-imap-user "your IMAP account")  ;; (user-login-name)
(setq mew-imap-server "your IMAP server")    ;; if not localhost
