These days I don't use mutt much because I need to mark some emails as 'remind me later' and bluemail and gmail offers this functionality. Is there a mutt alternative?
So mutt is still receiving releases? That's neat. I may have to revisit and see what's new in 2.0. I went through a CLI-only phase where I didn't use a desktop environment. My "DE" was just tmux in a pseudo-terminal. The main reason I went back to a graphical workstation was a need for G Suite and Slack's horrible support for Weechat. Mutt was a critical member of the toolkit and I have fond memories of hyper product…

Sorry if I'm missing the point, but why does using a terminal program require a whole separate OS? Or, conversely, why does using a graphical program force you to ditch all your terminal programs? Couldn't you just switch to a separate pseudo-tty, or even just use a maximised terminal window? You can switch between terminal programs with the usual tmux key bindings while still being able to "exit" to the GUI when needed.
1. I can edit and compose emails in my favourite editor
2. Near instantaneous launch
3. Can launch multiple instances, allowing for viewing/searching to happen concurrently
4. Rapid search with advanced searching features - i.e. find all emails that have 1 or more attachments sent to me from within a month of 1/1/2019 from someone with a "csu" email - would be l ~f csu ~X > 0 ~d 1/1/2019*1m
5. Deal rapidly with emails - I have 'd' for delete and move to next and 'y' for archive and move to next, I can zip through emails quicker than on any other email client I have used
6. I can work effectively when I'm offline or have patchy internet/signal (i.e. on a train) using mbsync or similar to store emails locally and sync up with my gmail account when I have internet.
7. Highly configurable - custom set-up for what data I want to see in my inbox, and what colours to use and what to highlight
8. Intelligent reply-all - it knows I have several email aliases that belong to me so I don't reply to myself
> Automatic reconnect to IMAP on error Really looking forward to this. This was the one notable issue I had with mutt: if you lose your connection, it would forget which mails you marked as read, deleted, etc.
Just in case anyone is curious as to why someone would use mutt, here are a few: 1. I can edit and compose emails in my favourite editor 2. Near instantaneous launch 3. Can launch multiple instances, allowing for viewing/searching to happen concurrently 4. Rapid search with advanced searching features - i.e. find all emails that have 1 or more attachments sent to me from within a month of 1/1/2019 from someone with a…
For instance, there is no consistent way to cancel actions / exit prompts (or none that I noticed), while pressing does nothing. I know terminals have issues with but even double just gives you ^[^[.
I like mutt and use it for some accounts, though there are ergonomic issues that bug me. For instance, there is no consistent way to cancel actions / exit prompts (or none that I noticed), while pressing does nothing. I know terminals have issues with but even double just gives you ^[^[.

That's what drove me initially to aerc + notmuch
That works? One of the main reasons I'm considering switching from aerc to mutt/something else is because IMAP keeps disconnecting. Seems like the number 3 item you would want to nail down in a mail-client. But I'm sure it is just me that haven't looked into it yet. Unfortunately I just can't find time for it for the time being.
