This issue comes from tcell, which has a baked-in terminfo database. I'm also not sure about the state of the terminfo database in general on OSX... in any case, I plan on improving terminfo support in tcell at some point.
It's probably because i use xterm-kitty . Awesome work on aerc, looking forward for continued development.

You mean like speaking any other language besides english?
I think he is thinking about that some letters look identical but are encoded differently. So someone will not be able to look at an email address and say: oh it’s from such and such.

#185Gnus has been great for me, but after about 40k+ (I stopped looking at the counts actually) messages in my Maildir, performance suffers for me (that is, if I start gnus from scratch it takes more than an hour and a half to open, with my entire Maildir in the page cache, and a huge amount of extremely fast memory). Notmuch doesn't seem to help at all, or if it would, it's hard to tell if it's configured correctly.
40k email? That sounds too much if it is for a single person. If you get 10 email per days for 10 years, you'd not get to 40k (35.6k). My suggestion will be to clean your mailbox instead of finding a new client.

#187Neat! I used to be a kernel maintainer, and had a similar setup going inside emacs with gnus, and dvc-git commands bound to keys to apply patches. Here's an old blog post about some of it: https://blog.printf.net/articles/2010/10/04/git-patches-in-g... Gnus was too slow, but worse, emacs is single-threaded, so e.g. polling for new mail in the background blocked the rest of the editor while it happened. I never unders…
> I never understood why it was impossible to have any kind of multithreading in emacs. There are various ways to do multithreading in emacs now, but the answer to your question is usually “there’s a lot of existing elisp that isn’t thread-safe”, and that’s still kind of a problem.

#188Crashed on first email I read from Gmail. Also, I had to enable "less secure access" in Gmail for aerc to work. Will try again after a few months.
Better to avoid gmail.

#189I haven't dug too deep into the features or how this works yet, but it's very exciting to see any kind of movement in this space at all. I've spent a lot of time configuring mutt just the way I like it, but I'd throw it all away in a heartbeat for a good, modern alternative. My wishlist: * A daemon that pulls new mail from my IMAP servers to my local maildir as soon as it arrives. (I know mutt has an IMAP mode, and i…
You can do this with fetchmail and procmail.[1]
