Steps to set up AWS SES email on android emacs port rmail
Setting up AWS SES (Simple Email Service) email on the Android Emacs port for rmail involves several steps. Here’s a general guide to help you through the process:
1. Set up AWS SES:
- Create an AWS account if you don’t have one
- Verify your domain or email address with SES
- Request production access if needed
- Create SMTP credentials in the AWS SES console
2. Install Emacs on Android:
- Use an Android Emacs port like Termux with Emacs or AndroidEmacs
3. Configure Emacs for email:
- Edit your .emacs file or init.el to include email settings
4. Set up rmail:
- Add rmail configuration to your Emacs init file
5. Configure SMTP settings for AWS SES:
- Add SMTP configuration for AWS SES to your Emacs init file
Here’s a more detailed breakdown of the steps:
1. AWS SES Setup:
- Go to AWS Console > SES
- Verify your domain or email address
- Create SMTP credentials
2. Install Emacs on Android:
- Install Termux from Google Play Store
- In Termux, run:
```
pkg install emacs
```
3. Configure Emacs for email:
Add to your .emacs or init.el:
```elisp
(setq user-full-name "Your Name")
(setq user-mail-address "
[email protected]")
```
4. Set up rmail:
Add to your .emacs or init.el:
```elisp
(setq rmail-file-name "~/RMAIL")
(setq rmail-primary-inbox-list '("pop:
[email protected]"))
```
5. Configure SMTP for AWS SES:
Add to your .emacs or init.el:
```elisp
(require 'smtpmail)
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
smtpmail-smtp-server "email-smtp.your-region.amazonaws.com"
smtpmail-smtp-service 587
smtpmail-stream-type 'starttls
smtpmail-smtp-user "YOUR_SMTP_USERNAME"
smtpmail-smtp-password "YOUR_SMTP_PASSWORD")
```
Replace “your-region” with your AWS region, and use the SMTP credentials you created in AWS SES.
6. Test your setup:
- Launch Emacs in Termux
- Use M-x rmail to start rmail
- Try sending and receiving emails
Remember to secure your Emacs configuration file as it contains sensitive information like your SMTP password.
Note: Depending on your specific Android Emacs port and version, some steps might vary. Always refer to the documentation of your specific Emacs port for Android for the most accurate information.
