Once you get comfortable with it, you will not need any other email client.

Easier to use than Mutt but not that established.

Keyboard focused thus productivity increased for touch- typers, it's excellent for my workflow.

aerc is an email client that runs in your terminal. It's highly efficient and extensible, perfect for the discerning hacker.

FEATURES

  • Editing emails in an embedded terminal tmux-style, allowing you to check on incoming emails and reference other threads while you compose your replies
  • Render HTML emails with an interactive terminal web browser, highlight patches with diffs, and browse with an embedded less session
  • Vim-style keybindings and ex-command system, allowing for powerful automation at a single keystroke
  • First-class support for working with git & email
  • Open a new tab with a terminal emulator and a shell running for easy access to nearby git repos for parallel work
  • Support for multiple accounts, with support for IMAP, Maildir, SMTP, and sendmail transfer protocols
  • CalDAV and CardDAV support for synchronizing contacts & calendar events
  • Asynchronous IMAP support ensures the UI never gets locked up by a flaky network, as mutt often does
  • Efficient network usage - aerc only downloads the information which is necessary to present the UI, making for a snappy and bandwidth-efficient experience
