My very first email account (when starting university in the early 90s) was via Pine on a unix machine; and i loved it! Sure, the excitement of "a new tech thing" was there, but also the fast, productive simplicity of it all: i can send a message to someone anywhere in the world quite easily! Years later when i started getting into linux as my personal machine/daily driver, i tried using mutt. Mutt didn't stick for me then. I give mutt (and other terminal clients like it) tons of respect, but for me it has been more an issue on my preference side; and nothing against mutt. And, now over the years (with linux very much my daily driver for years now), I find myself leveraging the terminal much much more - e.g. reading RSS feed via newsboat, etc....sort of a return to the basics, but basics that enable me to be far more productive. But one of the areas where i still can't seem to be comfortable in the terminal anymore is email. I think its because of attachments that i constantly need send and receive, and maybe the workflow for that is not ideal *for me* - i don't know. Or, maybe I've gotten so used to Thunderbird, that my brain seems happy there, where it has been happy in the terminak for other areas - who knows. In any case, i welcome more terminal apps! Yes, keep on improving mutt for others, but maybe this new one might work for me (and others who haven't clicked with mutt and its ilk). Kudos and good luck to the makers of Meli! (Who knows, maybe i'll give it a spin)
