alpine user here. I can't imagine mouse-mousing around to deal with email. Further, in 2022, I still find myself (albeit rarely) in low-bandwidth environments where an email client suitable for a 9600 baud modem comes in handy. But perhaps most interesting: When I send email to other rsync.net employees, it never traverses the Internet. They are logged in, via ssh, to our mailserver as am I. The content of the emails transmits only as (ephemeral) characters in a terminal and the data transfer over the Internet exists only as ssh. This pleases me greatly ...
