mutt can handle message status (read or unread) in folders other than your inbox where elm does not. It is very elm-like but seems faster and smaller yet just as functional to me. For the same reason, it may be too elm-like to meet your requirements. > Emacs? Are the mail handling tools of emacs worth looking into? Obscure keystrokes.
