I appreciate that a lot of people use Mac and/or Windows, but calling it cross-platform and then excluding the third big platform option is I think missing the point.
Technically if it supports more than one platform it is already "cross-platform". It is not "every-" or "all-platform".

You can switch the last one (web browsing) to TUI as well via Browsh [1]. Uses Firefox internally. [1] https://www.brow.sh/
I have been looking at trying out things like Vimperator to get a feel for no-mouse web browsing. But that looks even neater, I'll definitely give it a shot. :D

I'm still using Thunderbird, which is barely maintained for a decent standalone IMAP client - it's beginning to feel pretty ridiculous. I was having some search issues the other day and I looked at alternatives - the options were basically Outlook, Claws Mail which is ugly as sin, eM Client which is Windows only and Mailspring which actually looked pretty good... right up until it asked me to make an account for use…
I'd really recommend you take another look at Mutt, or Alpine if you're more into pico/nano than vim as editors. It's the best tool I can think of for dealing with large quantities of mail. * Notifications can be configured to do pretty much whatever you want (by invoking a command when new mail arrives) * Multi-account support works well (currently have it hooked up to my personal and work accounts simultaneously) *…
I think I will do that.
> Notifications can be configured to do pretty much whatever you want (by invoking a command when new mail arrives)
My understanding was that was pretty trivial to have going using notify-send and aplay

Admittedly when I looked at it was pre neomutt days, I seem to remember there being a special sidebar patch that upstream refused to use.

In that video he demonstrates a loose script that he's developed https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/mutt-wizard, it might be a good way for me to dip my feet in it and learn about all the components.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvc-pHjbhdE he did a video on calcurse too..
Sorry for the gaudy 4chan-style meme stuff. That's not my thing either but the videos are very succinct and he seems to be a good speaker.

Yes, this important to me and more likely to make me help out.
> The visual component of HTML mail is irrelevant 99% of the time. A reasonable textual interpretation can be generated by piping the message through `w3m --dump`, a process which can happen automatically inside mutt when viewing those messages with no action required on your part. If you absolutely must see the formatted message with images and such, this is only a keystroke away.
Very true, most of the email i receive is plain text, sometimes its not, but with minimal formatting. Theoretically it should be possible to view these HTML emails in Firefox should it not?
> There's a lot of initial configuration to do, granted, but you only need to do it once. Then you stick your mutt directory up on github or similar, and never need to do it again. Setting up a new or different machine is a clone away.
This.... the main reason I like plaintext configs.
With all respect for the hard work done on this client, but is it just me or is the TUI getting too much attention recently?? I think the GUI stacks are too bloated or too hideous (electron, cpp/qt,c# and it's limitations, etc...) to work with these days so much that the cool kids (hardcore techy people) just gave up and started doing TUIs to solve their own problems directly?

There's also Mailpile, which is GUI (webapp) but FOSS self-hostable. https://github.com/mailpile/Mailpile
