From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Best TUI mail client? (lemmy.ml)

Hi all,

I really, really like Mozilla Thunderbird; but what I have come to like even more is not leaving my terminal. Any recommendations on email clients in the terminal?

I've been thinking about aerc, but I'm curious what's working (or not) for all of you. mutt seems like it's crazy difficult to set up (which I'd rather avoid).

I need something that can handle all the account types I use with Thunderbird---namely, gmail and Microsoft exchange.

Thanks!

Here are my dotfiles for you to have a look and get an idea: https://codeberg.org/n0p1lls/Config/src/branch/main/dotfiles

There you can see how to configure the mutt client, adjusting it to you through some small changes.

For example, instead of: “set record="imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Enviados" for your gmail account, if your language is English, it would be something like this: “set record=“imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Sent".
