alot

> so I have been setting up aerc this week, using the Notmuch backend I strongly urge people to try notmuch. I switched to it in around 2011 and have never gone back. You don't have to use Emacs as the client. There are plenty of other frontends (including aerc). https://notmuchmail.org/frontends/ alot[1] is probably the most well known among them: https://github.com/pazz/alot

I haven't tried to use this, but if someone has, how does it compare to alot (https://github.com/pazz/alot) which is the best TUI mail client I've used?

I used this for a while with the 'alot' frontend[0] (before work moved to a different mail system and broke my set-up). It really does live up to the claims on the home page. If you like TUIs (especially vim) but find things like mutt to be a bit too basic or inflexible, give this combination a try. 0: https://github.com/pazz/alot

If you like sup-mail, I recommend also trying notmuch via alot. https://notmuchmail.org/ https://github.com/pazz/alot There are other options if you don't like alot. See: https://notmuchmail.org/frontends/

No one mentioning Alot? https://github.com/pazz/alot https://alot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ Alot is a terminal-based mail user agent for the notmuch mail system. It features a modular and command prompt driven interface to provide a full MUA experience as an alternative to the Emacs mode shipped with notmuch.

Pazz/alot checks the right boxes, but the bug list is a concern: https://github.com/pazz/alot/issues/1202

I cant imagine going without alot/xapian. If you like pine, checkout https://github.com/pazz/alot

You should take a look at notmuch [1]. It takes a little bit of time to get started (I recommend afew [2] for initial tagging), but I don't think I could ever go back to another mail system. It changes the way that you go through mail, no more folders: between tagging and extremely fast searches, there's no need. Just like an application launcher on modern desktops, there's no need to go through a big menu: press your search key, type what you're thinking, and there it is. It doubles the size of your maildir with the indexing, which is a downside if you're crunched for space, but maybe that gives you an idea for just how much is indexed and how fast you can expect searching to be. It's fair to say that the most popular interface for it is the emacs interface, which is great if you're already using emacs for mail because your workflow won'

Not sure if you're saying you want emacs or don't, but... * You want emacs - https://notmuchmail.org/notmuch-emacs/ * You don't want emacs - https://github.com/pazz/alot (I use this one, it's very nice) Also Mutt - https://notmuchmail.org/notmuch-mutt/

Found notmuch when I closed my gmail acct years ago, love it. I use a wrapper[1] that integrates it with alot[2] and an optional custom MDA[3]. [1] https://github.com/jakeogh/gpgmda-client [2] https://github.com/pazz/alot [3] https://github.com/jakeogh/gpgmda

If you like mutt, you will really like alot. https://github.com/pazz/alot
