Mutt is great, but if you want to use a "real" programming language to configure your client you might enjoy my alternative:

it's nice to see new approaches to email in a terminal. how about integration with notmuch?

greetings, eMBee.

I think the people that enjoy notmuch would probably prefer to stick with what they know.

If I were to use their query-based API, and just be a UI on it, then that'd be an almost complete rewrite.

on the contrary for the first point. i suspect that most enjoy notmuch with their traditional interface because there are not many alternatives. probably most people looking for interface alternatives switched to gmail.

commandline UI development in particular seems very conservative, and attempts to explore new interfaces are rare. that's why i love this topic and am getting excited about any attempt to change that.

i obviously can't comment on what it takes to integrate notmuch with lumail, and i grant that one may possibly have to develop a mailclient with notmuch in mind for it to work well.

greetings, eMBee.
