You have some points, for some I do think it isn't as bad as you write. FWIW, some comments inline. > - You can't subscribe to a single PR/bug/feature-request thread. Subscription to the mailing list is all-or-nothing. And no, setting up email filters is not a reasonable solution. You can use tools like public-inbox or lei, the former is hosted for bigger projects on https://lore.kernel.org/ If you're interested,... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
> Another problem is how badly email threading is displayed in these clients. Email UI is still abysmal. Fair point. However, given that the current alternative is "use another service entirely (e.g. GitHub)", I think it would be fair to assume that devs could choose a good e-mail client and learn how to format such e-mails correctly. It works for Linux, for instance. I started using Aerc, and I love it:... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
For fans of Mutt/NeoMutt looking to try something new, I've been getting a lot of mileage out of Aerc[1] and can recommend it as a somewhat more approachable alternative for the Mutt-curious. [1] https://aerc-mail.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
Try aerc, I recently set it up and it was really easy to do. The only tricky part was making it so my password is read from the KDE wallet instead of being stored as plain text in the config file. Source: over 1 year ago
I'm not sure how much longer, but at least for me aerc still works with Outlook e-mails. Source: over 1 year ago
Some time ago I wanted to give the aerc email client a try, but then I deleted it when I found out that it stores the password in plain text. But now I wonder, how do other applications store sensitive information like passwords? For example in KMail I only entered my password initially and the application stored it somewhere.

I tried it in the past and it worked quite well, except for Slack: I got it working, but it wasn't great. For email, I can suggest aerc [1]: lovely piece of software! 1: https://aerc-mail.org. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Love the recent efforts on building new terminal clients. I'm excited to try meli out. I've been using https://aerc-mail.org/ as a daily driver for several months, but excited to try some others in this space. I found mutt a bit intimidating to configure, where aerc and meli seem more straightforward. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
Aerc works really well for me with neovim. I even use neovim as the pager to read emails. Easy to setup multiple gmail accounts and configuration is worlds easier than neomutt or mutt. Source: over 1 year ago
Not exactly a new project, but aerc is always welcoming towards new contributors. Source: almost 2 years ago
I've been using Aerc, works well for me. Has anyone tried both, and if so, what's your preference? https://aerc-mail.org. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
Https://aerc-mail.org/ also works well with Protonmail Bridge. Source: about 2 years ago
I wish we’d just use email and let users pick the UX that works best in the moment. Hosted git options work great with email. Clients like aerc are tailored to the workflow: https://aerc-mail.org/ Spike on mobile let’s you pick traditional email or IM mobile UX. Could add a rudimentary editor with code complete help. No need need to spin up forums or Slack. Discourse is a git log. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
Thankfully. Also, in addition to not being a default anywhere, they are also not even implemented anywhere, besides "advanced" text editors, some browser plugins, and some very niche "nerdy" applications (aerc-mail comes to mind). It is very rare to find them in a usual graphical application that has few text controls. Source: over 2 years ago

I use an email client I wrote for this purpose: https://aerc-mail.org/ Greg-KH has also written about his mutt workflow: http://www.kroah.com/log/blog/2019/08/14/patch-workflow-with-mutt-2019/ Though his volume and needs are probably different from most users. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago
