Ask HN: What email client do you use?

2 points by notpiika 5 years ago | 1 comment

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.

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.
