Account Setup & Provider Configuration
This page describes the intended end-user experience for connecting mail and calendar accounts. Nuncio is pre-alpha: there is no polished onboarding flow for a real account yet, and this is not a step-by-step guide you can follow today.
Intended experience — not usable with a real account yetWhat Exists Today: IMAP/SMTP Sync in the Engine
The underlying capability — real IMAP fetch, storage, and SMTP send, tested against mock servers — is genuinely implemented in the engine you can build from source. The nuncio account add and nuncio account list/show/edit/delete/test commands exist on the reference CLI today for developers driving the daemon directly; there is no consumer-facing setup wizard around them yet.
Planned: Broader Provider Support
JMAP, CalDAV calendar sync, and CardDAV contacts sync are on the roadmap as additional protocol backends alongside IMAP/SMTP. OAuth-based provider flows (for Gmail-style accounts) are part of that same future account-setup experience and are not implemented yet.
JMAP, CalDAV, CardDAVAccount credentials are routed through the OS keyring rather than stored in plaintext or in SQLite — that boundary is real in the engine now, and stays true regardless of which onboarding flow eventually sits on top of it.
