Key Features
- Efficient, keyboard-oriented mail reading, sorting, and composing.
- Gives a mostly text-based email experience by default, but with HTML support a few keystrokes away.
- 4 different kinds of view: search views, thread views, compose views, and the tag view. It opens initially with a search view with the query tag:inbox. Pressing enter or double-clicking a thread with open that thread in the thread view. Pressing c at any time or r while looking at a message in the thread view will open the compose view. Pressing T will open a list of all the known tags in a new tab.
- Offloads as much work as possible on existing, excellent command-line tools (UNIX philosphy-style).
- Simple enough to customise and hack on yourself.
