Aerc has been my daily driver for a long, long time. I use it with IMAP (GMail and other reasons) but its completely usable with local mail directories.
- I have redefined the Aerc key mapping with a set of Vim-like keybindings, since I am too old to learn new keybindings. And I bet now I as fast as possible slashing through countless mails…
- I configured Aerc to work properly with Gmail and Imapfilter.
- I created some filters that I missed from any mail client I ever tried (at least two keystrokes away). Like:
ff = :filter -f<space> "{{index (.From | emails) 0}}" <Enter> # filter mails from current sender
fs = :filter -H<space> subject:"{{.SubjectBase}}" <Enter> # Show Mails with the same subject
fS = :filter -H<space> subject:<Space> # filter mails with subject e.g. "fs foo" filters mails with subject containing "foo"
If someone is interested, I will link my GitHub repo.
- icambron 2y agoI'm interested, specifically with the vim keybindings, which would make getting started with it much easier for me.
- jackthetab 2y agoI'm interested in the Gmail integration. Tried it with mutt and decided I didn't want to spend an afternoon figuring it out. 'Sides, I hear that Gmail is phasing out IMAP. :-?

- SuperNinKenDo 2y agoCan you point out which part of this is relevant to Gmail integration?
- Ringz 2y ago> 'Sides, I hear that Gmail is phasing out IMAP. :-? Uh? Really?
- ffsm8 2y agoPretty sure that's fake news. To my knowledge, they've only deprecated authentication with your regular password via IMAP, you'll now have to at least create an app password.
- donio 2y agoFor GMail sync someone else has already mentioned Lieer which is an excellent tool for robust two-way syncing of emails and tags/labels between Notmuch (and anything that uses it) and GMail. It uses the GMail API so it doesn't rely on IMAP. https://github.com/gauteh/lieer https://github.com/gauteh/lieer
- bayindirh 2y ago> 'Sides, I hear that Gmail is phasing out IMAP. Nope. AFAIK, Microsoft is phasing out POP, and maybe GMail, but not IMAP. If you're using two factor authentication, you need to use an App Password.
- ktosobcy 2y ago> 'Sides, I hear that Gmail is phasing out IMAP. :-? I'm so glad I "phased out" Gmail out of my life years ago...

- hdb2 2y ago> If someone is interested, I will link my GitHub repo. I'm very interested...this post has encouraged me to play with aerc again, and the first filter you posted is something I have always wanted in an email client!
