After trying a few different CLI mail clients---mutt/neomutt, s-nail, etc.---I've come to love the approach of mblaze[0], _i.e._ just a collection of commands to interact with maildirs, which can be separately managed by OfflineIMAP or whatever.
I'm curious how mblaze+offlineimap compares to other similar setups: nmh[1], fdm[2], and getmail.

- JoosToopit 2y agoI want to express just pure love towards your idea that software should be simple.
- user3939382 2y agoI wish there was a CLI imap client with a conversation view as seamless as Fastmail or Gmail. I found mutt to be very clunky.
- katzinsky 2y agoHave you tried using threads in mutt? Having them collapse by default seems to reproduce what I remember the gmail experience being.
