  1. meli

    Discontinued 🐝 experimental terminal mail client, mirror of https://git.meli.delivery/meli/meli.git https://crates.io/crates/meli (by meli)

    Meli. It's actively developed, looks good, has TUI, supports multiple accts, Maildir, mbox, notmuch, IMAP and JMAP. Need I say more?

  3. mutt-wizard

    A system for automatically configuring mutt and isync with a simple interface and safe passwords

    mutt/neomutt - for beginners it's a good idea to start with mutt-wizard - you can find pretty decent help in their github issues if you search and people usually are helpful.

  4. mblaze

    Unix utilities to deal with Maildir

    mblaze is nice once you get used to it. Pretty neat how you can compose simple pipelines interactively or just using simple scripts for repetitive tasks.

  5. himalaya

    CLI to manage emails

    Himalaya is a relatively new contender, written in rust. I like it because it strikes a good balance between simple configurability and functionality, as it does not suffer from overengineering/feature bloat (looking at you, mutt).
