*** Setup
Due to mu sitting on top of a maildir, I need to tell mu4e where said maildir is, and point it the trash, archive, and sent folders as well as the refresh command and how frequently I want my emails to be refreshed.

This source block is an example of the search queries in mu4e, and part of the reason why I very much like mu4e: these bookmarks are actually defined by search queries, but act as if they were just yet another type of custom inbox you get with modern Email client (and often you don’t even get them). All these bookmarks can be accessed through a shortcut on the main mu4e buffer, prefixed by ~b~. So, for instance, my unread messages are accessed through ~bU~.

Now this hook is added so I can get a maximal width for the text of my emails, I really don’t like it when lines are kilometers long. I would like instead to hook ~visual-line-mode~ and ~auto-fill-mode~, but for some reasons Emacs throws an error when I add them, So I go with ~visual-fill-column-mode~ instead.

Icons are nice and all, but my current font does not display some of the default icons set by mu4e. Due to this, I will define back these icons to the original characters defined by mu4e:

Something that irks me with the ~doom-nord~ theme is that emails I replied to are the same color as unread emails, and I wish to change this color. Luckily, I can change that! The foreground color of emails I replied to will now be [[#User_Configuration-Custom_functions_and_variables-Some_theming_variables-9b853a99][Nord15]].

*** Misc
I am unsure yet if this has any effect on mu4e, but this variable should discourage mu4e from reading rich text emails and instead open them as plain text. However, I do not wish to discourage opening HTML emails since I can open them in the browser.
