Snooze feature for mu4e.
Other than me starting to use snoozing a lot, a motivation for working on this
project was to figure out capabilities of GPT-4. For that, I tried
co-programming the project with ChatGPT running on GPT-4. At some point I
stopped. Log of my interaction is kept in devlog.md. A more detailed review is
in my blog post here. An update from September 2024 using the o1 model is here.
After installation, you will be able to mark and snooze emails by using the z
key. You can do bulk snoozing. At the time of mark execution, you will be asked
the unsnooze time. You can provide exact datetime or relative. See documentation
of org-read-date for details on acceptable format.
Snoozing works by moving the marked emails in mu4e-snooze-label folder and add
an X-header to keep the unsnooze time. Since tools like offlineimap won’t sync
the added X-header, you will face minor annoyance in using mu4e-snooze across
multiple machines.
A timer starts with a default interval of 5 mins (change
mu4e-snooze-unsnoze-timer variable for this) to check whether any email should
be unsnoozed to relevant INBOX.
