i was just wondering because i do talk to my friends most of the time through email and since gmail lets you add mpop and mop3 to email clients i figured it would be an interesting idea to use an email client on the terminal with built in notifications and stuff, thanks so much

    Is it really practical in 2024? I used pine as my sole e-mail client for many years.

    In the last 15 years it feels like every mail expects the client to be able to render html, with no real fallback for text-only. Even when my client only blocks remote images some mail can be quite hard to decipher.

    Company handbook even requires me to have a html signature with a picture of the company logo… before that I’ve militantly only sent text-only e-mail.
