Yet it’s missing from the recommendation list.

I don’t think you’re going to get many people switching from mail.google.com to something in a terminal emulator straight away.

The recommendations list is described thus:

> These clients all compose plain text emails by default, with correct quoting and text wrapping settings, requiring no additional configuration to use correctly.

Thunderbird is not in the list because it requires configuration.

The recommended list includes several GUIs and web clients.

I don't really understand how people are checking their email without configuring an email client, but then I realized I don't care and once again I should just never interact with anything from sr.ht

By using the default configuration, or by using a web interface.

I have no idea what "sr.ht" is.

No username, password, IMAP/POP server?

sr.ht is the software forge this plain text email website is set up to promote.
