| I have been using alpine (re-alpine before that and alpine before that and pine before that) for about 20 years and it ticks most of your check boxes: - Email notifications just work. I get a bell on my terminal when a new email comes and my desktop environment (i3m) shows a highlighted xterm and a highlighted workspace so that I know that I have a new message. - Excellent multi-account support. I have 4 email accounts and I can seamlessly move messages between them. - It had a single maintainer who disappeared, someone else took over who disappeared, and now there is a new maintainer. - The keybindings are relatively simple (n for next and p for previous) but the arrow keys and mouse also work. - You can view html emails using w3m or lynx or whatever. It supports standard features such as choosing your own editor to compose emails (default is nano, which is a successor of pico, which was the editor used by pine), filtering a message to a program (for example, to git apply patch), filter a message before sending, multiple ways to display threading, and so on. It has working support for signing and encrypting messages, decent support of reply templates. It has really really good documentation available in a context sensitive manner. I sometimes feel that alpine/pine doesn't get as much love as other TUI email clients. |
