I like vi (really vim), but I'm OK with Claws. I do most of my email on a BlackBerry. (No, really.)

If you work with vi and like it, chances are you will also like mutt. Personally I *love* mutt! No extra fat. Always on the spot. It is "liberal in what it receives and conservative in how it sends". Since it is command line program, I can run it almost everywhere. It supports local mailboxes, SMTP, POP and IMAP as well as S/MIME and PGP. You can highly customize it, if you want to with rules per folder, per sender adress etc. pp. Just like vi it takes a while until you have internalized the (invisible) interface. Once you've moved beyond that point you will experience an enormous boost in efficency. If you want to, ping me offline and I will share my mutt config. That should make it easier to start using it. p@rick > Original Message > From: Andreas Kalex > Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2016 11:06 PM > To: Dovecot Mailing List > Subject: Re: Good email client to use with Dovecot? > > since years mutt, 'cause it really sucks. > I tried TB or claws, evolution, opera but always returned to mutt. > > > > Am 18.
