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!

Heard about this the other day. I haven’t tried it yet, but it looks promising.

Primary issue I found with that software is there is no way to bypass certificate and old issues.

Ooo looks nice. This might make me want to try CLI mail again. I tried neomutt a long time ago and just couldn’t get it working right, but this looks a lot easier.

I switched recently from neomutt to aerc and yes, if you want less complicated configuration, it’s a great pick. I find it less buggy and just best designed overall.

I never tried Gmail or Exchange on it, but this should have some helpful info on that: https://man.sr.ht/~rjarry/aerc/providers/

I tried aerc, neomutt, and alpine a while back and preferred aerc. Neomutt was a bit too much config for my liking. Alpine was ok but aerc was my easier to get everything setup the way I wanted.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
