A pretty good email client

aerc is an email client that runs in your terminal. It's highly efficient and
extensible, perfect for the discerning hacker. Check out the screencast above
to get an idea of how it's used.

Some of its more interesting features include:

  - Editing emails in an embedded terminal tmux-style.
  - Render HTML emails with an interactive terminal web browser, highlight
    patches with diffs, and browse with an embedded less session.
  - Vim-style keybindings and ex-command system, allowing for powerful
    automation at a single keystroke.
  - First-class support for working with git & email.

  - Open a new tab with a terminal emulator and a shell running for easy
    access to nearby git repos for parallel work.
  - Support for multiple accounts, with IMAP, Maildir, Notmuch, Mbox and JMAP
    backends. Along with IMAP, JMAP, SMTP, and sendmail transfer protocols.
  - Asynchronous IMAP and JMAP support ensures the UI never gets locked up by
    a flaky network.
  - Efficient network usage - aerc only downloads the information which is
    necessary to present the UI, making for a snappy and bandwidth-efficient
  - Email threading (with and/or without IMAP server support).
  - PGP signing, encryption and verification using GNUpg.
