gmute 1.4.0

Gmail mute support for mutt and other email clients

gmute adds support for Gmail’s “mute” feature to mutt, and any other mail client which can output the raw headers to a file. Muting prevents new entries in a thread from appearing in the inbox, which can be very useful for managing mailing list activity.

Usage

First, put your IMAP credentials in ~/.config/gmute, like so:

[auth]
user = [e-mail]
pass = bionicman

If you want to use this from the mutt index, you can add something like the following binding to your configuration with gmute in mutt’s $PATH:

macro index M '<enter-command>set pipe_sep="\n_PIPE_SEP_\n"<enter><pipe-message>gmute<enter><sync-mailbox>'

Then, with a message from a thread you want to mute highlighted in the index, press M to mute that thread, just as would work in the Gmail UI. gmute also works with tags, either using tag-prefix or set auto_tag.

You might also want to unset wait_key in your mutt config if you don’t want the “press any key to continue” prompt.
