Hi all,

I really, really like Mozilla Thunderbird; but what I have come to like even more is not leaving my terminal. Any recommendations on email clients in the terminal?

I’ve been thinking about aerc, but I’m curious what’s working (or not) for all of you. mutt seems like it’s crazy difficult to set up (which I’d rather avoid).

I need something that can handle all the account types I use with Thunderbird—namely, gmail and Microsoft exchange.

Thanks!

    Neomutt (with notmuch) is not easy when starting from scratch. Luckily there are some configurations online that get you up and running quickly. It still requires some efforts to get use to it and configured to your detailed and specific needs. I put sweat to build mine but it worth every single drop.
    That being said that’s what makes its strength. It’s not an email client, it’s your email client. Once it’s configured, it’s good forever and using anything else feels like a pain.
