Hi! This looks very interesting. I use mutt but have two pain points. The big one is that mutts locks up when the network connection is broken (e.g. on suspend). My understanding is that this has been known for a long time and can't be fixed without a major rewrite of mutt to be multi-threaded and non-locking. My current solution is to either kill mutt once frozen or to remember to close it whenever I suspend. Would aerc solve this?
My other common issue is that it is not easy to search a GMail inbox over IMAP. I have seen some solutions such as using notmuch and offline-imap, but these are kind of a project so I haven't implemented them. I usually just sigh and open a browser tab when I really need to search.
- Sir_Cmpwn 7y agoYeah, aerc solves the networking issue mostly, and the remainder of the problem can be solved without major refactoring. This was a design goal of aerc from the start. As for searching, I'd like to have notmuch support in the future. There's also some IMAP extensions for multi-folder search I'd like to add support for in the future, but I'm not sure if gmail supports those.
