Ask HN: What email client do you use?

2 pointsby notpiikaover 4 years ago
Trying to switch away from webmail for the most part, and wondering what other people recommend.

I spend most of my day in the command-line, so aerc[1] is my preferred email client — the only one, really. Since I like signing my emails with PGP as well, I compile it with this patch[2] and enable signing by default. Before that I was using mutt[3], but the layout chosen for aerc is simply miles ahead in my opinion.<p>On mobile, I use FairEmail[4], but only to receive server and emergency notifications. If I am off the clock, a server on fire is the only thing that should get me back in front of a computer.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;aerc-mail.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;aerc-mail.org&#x2F;</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lists.sr.ht&#x2F;~sircmpwn&#x2F;aerc&#x2F;patches&#x2F;14523" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lists.sr.ht&#x2F;~sircmpwn&#x2F;aerc&#x2F;patches&#x2F;14523</a><p>[3] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mutt.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mutt.org&#x2F;</a><p>[4] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;email.faircode.eu&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;email.faircode.eu&#x2F;</a>
