It can't do maildir. I tried mdir:/// maildir:/// file:/// and /. grep -R maildir of the code returns nothing. So I guess, using it on local mail is a no go.

I tried it only because this was advertised, only to be disappointed. It's better to not advertise features you don't have. Or at least state what features you have instead of mixing what you have and have not into a feature list at random. It's also far cry from the configurability of the mutt/neomutt. But that can change. It would certainly be nice to have a properly scriptable terminal based MUA, as neomutt, while nice, and flexible, is kind of hard to configure.

There's a big red disclaimer on this page that says the feature list is a bit wishful, and the latest version is only 0.1.0. The docs (man pages, start with man aerc) only document implemented features, you may want to start there. Here's the ticket for maildir support: https://todo.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/aerc2/16 https://todo.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/aerc2/16 Several people have expressed interest in working on this, I expect we'll see it for 0.2.0. As far as configurability is concerned, yeah, the plan is to continue making it more customizable and configurable. Stuff like filters already afford you a lot of options today. At some point I might also be interested in adding a fifo you can use to feed commands into it from a script, too, for turing-complete customization.

  Yeah, I read it, assumming that easier features would be implemented first. I still think it's better to split the list into what is completed and roadmap. It would help me track the progress. Anyway, good luck. I'll keep my eye on the project, because it certainly seems interesting.

    I don't believe on implementing the easy features first. If you implement the hard features first, its smooth sailing for the rest of the project! If you would like to keep track of specific features, check out the bug tracker: https://todo.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/aerc2 https://todo.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/aerc2

  I was looking at the git page and wondering where I could see discussion on features/bugs etc, I did not find it and was a bit frustrated. I found out reading this comment that not only it has a todo page but it works great! Not sure if it's a design choice but perhaps making the resources accessible in a single page (e.g. like a project home) would be something worth of consideration.
