#EMACS FOR MAC OS X PASSWORD#
ICloud and Gmail require more password setup for access through imap.

For our accounts we will setup the three items mu4e-icloud, mu4e-gmail and mu4e-example.

NOTE: The names "mu4e-icloud", "mu4e-gmail" and "mu4e-example" are entirely arbitrary. The applications mbsync and msmtp need a way to trust email servers’s tls/ssl certificates.

He just upgraded it to Emacs 26.2, so this morning I rebuild my Emacs on OSX again and ended up where I wanted to be, with the latest version of Emacs, keyword expansion as I expected it to work, and a working GUI. Malcolm Purvis had been kind enough to point out in a comment to my original homebrew Emacs post that Davide Restivo had created a brew tap that brings the necessary –with-cocoa build option back. Instead of expanding keywords, I kept opening menus. Unfortunately, with Meta mapped to the Apple Command key, Shift-Meta-7 is a menu shortcut. My muscle memory says that I use Shift-Meta-7 (aka Meta-/ ) for keyword expansion as I use a German keyboard layout most of the time. It had have one niggling problem for me, though. I did end up installing the homebrew Emacs for Mac tap which restored the GUI functionality. That’s a pretty serious restriction for me as I usually end up with multiple frames across my desktop. In a previous post I mentioned that I upgraded my homebrew install of Emacs after Emacs 26.2 was released, and noticed that I had lost its GUI functionality.
