I have been using mutt for triage and simple things, with Google web mail interface when necessary for e.g. HTML mail.

The workflow is ok. I get a large amount of email that I can just delete, and it's particularly nice to be able to select a bunch of cron emails with a regular expression.

In the last year it's become unreliable. When I move a message from one folder to another, it doesn't stay moved. I guess it's some error handling problem. I have lots of emails in some folders (10k).

I have thought about writing a driver for mutt that works directly against the Google API instead of IMAP, but writing REST code in C would be a slog.
