Seems to have been made with flaky connections in mind, would be weird if there wasn't a way to recover.
But on that note, isn't it local/offline-first? The first feature that comes in mind for a email client is "download all mail to store locally so I can browse/search them anytime", is that not how this client works?
- ddevault 4y agoNo, it does not store emails offline by default (though you can configure it to use maildir and use isync to pull emails down, this is what I do in my configuration). In my opinion this is the major design mis-step of aerc which will be corrected by a future mail client.
- tjoff 4y agoIt has improved lately but no, it does not handle flaky connections well. And it is online by default.
