Same here.
@JinraeKim, I apologize for the late response. Your issue is appropriate. I will try to replicate this issue on my end. In the meantime, the easy way to load gmail contacts is to export contacts out of Gmail: https://support.google.com/contacts/answer/7199294?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en
Find or create a file with the path ~/.vmail/\<username>/vmail-contacts.txt (\<username> is the name of the folder containing .vmailrc). Vmail will read your contacts from there. It has to be a simple file with one contact per line. For example here is a sample from my vmail-contacts file:
foo@gmail.com bar@gmail.com Example User \example@gmail.com\
@notalex The approach you've suggested doesn't really do the same thing: the people I send emails to are mostly not in my contacts.
@tom-adsfund, if you need to send emails to other accounts(not in your Google Contacts) and you need Vmail to autocomplete them; you could simply add those emails in the vmail-contacts.txt file and vmail will autocomplete them with the default Ctrl-x Ctrl-u mapping. Let me know if this addresses your need.
@notalex
Thank you for suggesting an alternative way to loading contacts, and it works well.
However, I felt this way is still not comfortable :(
But I've really been impressed by this project as a user of vim
:) Good luck!
P.S. I think it will become more comfortable if I can load contacts of Gmail easily and sending emails to a group via shortcut.
Error report
Hi, I'm trying to load my Gmail contacts automatically by
-g
option, i.e.,vmail -g
.When typing the command and press Enter on Terminal, an error message is displayed:
After this,
vmail-contacts.txt
file is generated without any contents (empty file).My setting is as follows:
Mac
orUbuntu
vmail 2.9.10
(due to the issue)Note
vmail
command works well though. I just wonder if there's an easy way to loading my Gmail contacts for autocompletion.Github
andVim
, so please tell me if this way of opening an issue is not appropriate.
