I love it. For decades, my flame war offensives against the evil crusaders of Emacs have stalled out against their Maginot Line of "But Emacs can be your mail client too!" This is like a Blitzkrieg of flame war glory. PARIS PREPARE TO BE MINE!!!
Victory shall not be yours until your precious Vim has both Tetris and Towers of Hanoi. Emacs shall prevail.

for vim fans, another option is mutt or alpine with vim as your editor. Both work with gmail.
Also nmh, though it can be complicated to set up (especially to set up well). Still meaning to put together a tutorial / description of my setup...
Mmm...yeah I think I'll pass but hey, good idea up to that point.
While this is awesome, I am one of those guys who feel uncomfortable to store my raw password in a dotfile, not to mention I'm managing my dotfiles in Github, authentication in every run doesn't seem convenient either. I see that this happens in other places such as Github gists-terminal and some twitter-terminal clients. Is there any way we can store these credentials locally in a safer way like SSH keys?.
Many programs that require passwords (e.g., mutt, offlineimap, msmtp) let you specify a command to retrieve the password, which is really easy using pass.
When will we get a "programer's web browser"? I mean a full blown browser of current generation abilities, but with the option of completely keyboard driven interaction. Concise input of small commands (navigation, data extraction, exploring and massaging of extracted data, data uploading etc.) that can be composed to form more complex interactions. It should have full interoperability with the CLI, don't go re-inven…
To add to your specifications: a "programer's web browser" should communicate with the user in a way which assumes that the user is knowledgeable. It should not use ridiculous metaphors like "this site could harm the computer! back to safety" or noob-oriented advice like "check the address for typing errors", but tell me things like "this URL is registered as a phishing site in such and such blacklist", "access to this site would violate an STS policy", "no DNS record for this domain, here is the result of the lookup", "no reply from IP A.B.C.D, here is a traceroute", etc.
My current choice of a keyboard-oriented browser is Firefox with the pentadactyl extension. It's not perfect, but better than anything else I've tried (including uzbl, which doesn't seem mature or well-documented enough).

There's luakit, uzbl, surf and jumanji from the top of my head, but I don't think any of these have "full interoperability with the CLI". luakit is definitely my favourite as it has been much more reliable than uzbl and easier to configure/extend (in lua).
Thanks to google killing free Google Apps accounts, I won't get a chance to use this. It's really sad because this is exactly what I was looking for.
Not a smartass question.
