I am not opposed to trying new things at all but I have been using a very old mail system over the last 25 years called nmh which is based on the Rand Corporation's mh or "Message Handler" that became free open-source years ago. Rather than being a monolithic mail program, it is a bunch of separate unix applications such as comp to compose messages, show to-- yes, you guessed it, show you a message or range of messages, refile and other applications one needs in a mail handler. It works great on any ASCII text console and it is so old and crude that one can open any message your heart desires without worrying about executable code since the viewer can be lynx or vi. It's also nice to have a modern user agent for those messages that have javascript and other executable capabilities which one can use on trusted messages. I want to keep some of these capabilities and so I was hoping to be able to use that system on mail I would receive via MS365. > > Evolution is a mail client that is integrated with Gnome, > and has a setting to select EWS for connecting with 365. > > This link may be helpful for configuring Evolution. > > https://sites.utexas.edu/glenmark/2021/02/01/how-to-setup-your-office-365-email-using-evolution-ews-linux/ > I appreciate that link because I actually have that article saved on this system. > If that doesn't suit you, another solution would be to > cobble together a script to download the messages and > deliver them to /var/spool/mail/username for any mail > client to use. That has certainly crossed my mind a lot recently. I really appreciate your taking the time to respond since it looks like maybe I should not be so excited about davmail after all but that there are still possible solutions. > In Python, the ExchangeLib module can download mail from an > EWS server, offers sample code, and has a recent release. > https://pypi.org/project/exchangelib/ > https://github.com/ecederstrand/exchangelib/issues > > Disclaimer: I've not used this library and know little about Python. I am going to have to learn python, indentations and all as I do know how to write code in perl and some C coding so I had better keep pounding on this problem or nothing is going to happen on it's own.
