aerc is an email client that runs in your terminal. It's highly efficient and
extensible, perfect for the discerning hacker. Some of its more interesting
features include:
.
* Editing emails in an embedded terminal tmux-style, allowing you to check on
incoming emails and reference other threads while you compose your replies
* Render HTML emails with an interactive terminal web browser, highlight
patches with diffs, and browse with an embedded less session
* Vim-style keybindings and ex-command system, allowing for powerful
automation at a single keystroke
* First-class support for working with git & email
* Open a new tab with a terminal emulator and a shell running for easy access
to nearby git repos for parallel work
* Support for multiple accounts, with IMAP, Maildir, Notmuch, Mbox and JMAP
backends. Along with IMAP, JMAP, SMTP, and sendmail transfer protocols.
* Asynchronous IMAP and JMAP support ensures the UI never gets locked up by
a flaky network.
* Efficient network usage - aerc only downloads the information which is
necessary to present the UI, making for a snappy and bandwidth-efficient
experience
* Email threading (with and/or without IMAP server support).
* PGP signing, encryption and verification using GNUpg.
* 100% free and open source software!
