Introduction

Wanderlust is an in-Emacs mail reading application intended for use with IMAP.

Unfortunately, it is very poorly documented (at least in English) and the Wanderlust home page, at [1], has not been maintained in many years. Development appears to take place almost entirely within various informal github repositories. A full list of packages needed to run Wanderlust includes:

https://github.com/wanderlust/flim

https://github.com/wanderlust/semi

https://github.com/wanderlust/apel

https://github.com/wanderlust/wanderlust

Wanderlust is available in MELPA and in El-get (though it doesn't seem to be able to checkout the repository).

Troubleshooting

Installation from ELPA seems to be problematic, because of the flim package. See more at http://gelvaos.blogspot.com/2010/11/emacs-elpa-and-wanderlust.html
