open source terminal client for email for linux! does that exist??
i was just wondering because i do talk to my friends most of the time through email and since gmail lets you add mpop and mop3 to email clients i figured it would be an interesting idea to use an email client on the terminal with built in notifications and stuff, thanks so much

- mutt

Have fun with your terminal adventures!
"All mail clients suck. This one just sucks less."
Is it really practical in 2024? I used pine as my sole e-mail client for many years.
In the last 15 years it feels like every mail expects the client to be able to render html, with no real fallback for text-only. Even when my client only blocks remote images some mail can be quite hard to decipher.
Company handbook even requires me to have a html signature with a picture of the company logo.. before that I've militantly only sent text-only e-mail.
They can render HTML now. 😉
Pretty sure the

Yes it does exist. I've only dabbled with terminal email clients so not sure if they have notifications but:
nmh is my favorite. You would have to script your notifications though
