There are also isync and OfflineIMAP which sync email locally. Source: 12 months ago

I set up mbsync to mirror the current (last 90 days) of my Fastmail IMAP account into another local Maildir, and told Notmuch to index that as well. This ensures a Notmuch search will cover both current & archived messages. Source: about 1 year ago

On my notebook I went full-on nerd and read and write emails mostly in the Emacs text editor. In particular I use isync to fetch emails via imap (that's independent from Emacs) and the Emacs extension mu4e to view, write and send emails. It's not something I recommend if you're not used to working with code and not using Emacs anyway, but for me it makes sense, since emails are just text and Emacs is good with...

Myself, I keep a local copy of my mail using isync/mbsync. This allows me to use mutt and notmuch on my mail, or even just plain old grep. Granted, this also means you'll have to download your 30GB mailbox locally. Personally, I consider this a feature, as it gives me a local backup. Source: about 1 year ago

I don't know what this means, but my setup assumes mail is in ~/Maildir. However you get your mail into this directory doesn't matter. I use IMAP and https://isync.sourceforge.io. Source: over 1 year ago

Open-source superhuman email client? I don't know... Maybe the author is not aware of mutt: http://www.mutt.org/ (or neomutt: https://neomutt.org/). Which in my opinion is way way closer to "superhuman". - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

Yes, for sending a new revision this is highly wanted – please do NOT send new patch revision to the same thread, that just crowds review and adds nothing.

I would like to share this mail merge plugin that I just made, and which needs to be tested a little... I think (but I'm not sure!) that it didn't exist yet for neovim... For now, it works with neomutt, but I plan to integrate other cli email software later... If you have any suggestions, I'm interested! Source: over 1 year ago

I also use Neomutt for my email which lets me write a one-liner Cron job so I can email myself regular reports of whatever I choose. One of my reports is just telling me how much my BTC is worth at any moment which involves something small I wrote which records the BTC price every 5 minutes using cointop. The command cointop price -c "btc" outputs the price for me (although there are a ton of ways to do this too). Source: over 2 years ago

As for mail, I'm currently using Neomutt, with isync (unrelated to Apple) for offline IMAP storage and msmtp for SMTP. It's fantastic and does everything I want, including PGP signing and encryption, but there's a bit of a learning curve and it definitely isn't an all-in-one solution (i.e. You need to combine it with other apps/tools). It can be a bit daunting to set up, but there is a wizard script that can do... Source: over 2 years ago
