I could welcome any comparison with aerc (https://aerc-mail.org https://aerc-mail.org).
- BeetleB 4y agoDoes aerc support notmuch?
- falsifian 4y agoYes, I'm using it with notmuch, and it works reasonably well. A couple of caveats: - If you want to save outgoing mail, you need to include your own mail-sending script (mine is below). This is because aerc treats the notmuch backend as read-only. - For the same reason, you can't postpone messages with the notmuch backend. - I find it a little annoying jumping between search queries. Basically, I have to type out the new query each time. The aerc notmuch backend treats notmuch queries like folders, but it instantly forgets the previous "folder" existed when you go to a new one. It probably wouldn't be too hard to fix these; if I stick with aerc I'll probably try eventually. My mail-sending script; tested only on OpenBSD: #!/bin/sh # # Save a copy of an email in Sent, then send it with sendmail. set -e TMP=$(mktemp -d) cat > "$TMP/message" notmuch insert --folder=Sent < "$TMP/message" sendmail -f falsifian@falsifian.org "$@" < "$TMP/message" rm -r -- "$TMP"
