Using it with local mail dirs is definitely preferable. I would assume that most people use mail TUIs in conjunction with `mbsync`, `notmuch`, and similar utilities that improve the overall experience.

I can't speak specifically for Odoo's quest for monetization because I'm not a user; it very well may not be a healthy one. But in general I think FOSS monetization should be celebrated. Successful open source software busine

I think it's accurate to say that the median American is insured, with only 8% of the population uninsured [1]. Although, to put that percentage in perspective, that's 26 million people and likely thousands in excess mortality rel
