@havarpan @gumnos You might want to consider #neomutt

PSA: I don't know who else needs to know this but if you're trying to get #neomutt working in #ubuntu but #mbsync is failing then take a look at #apparmor. It took me about an hour to figure this out & another hour to find a fix (found a great post!). Have had neomutt working in #CachyOS for a long time without issue, but on a spare laptop with Ubuntu it was a no-go for a painful few hours. No idea why the terminal or OS doesnt flag apparmor as a poss culprit. Guess I need to learn more about AA

Gestern begonnen und vorhin fertiggestellt. #ArchLinux komplett frisch auf dem PC installiert. Sogar meine /home-Partition neu eingerichtet. Macht bislang den Eindruck, dass ich diesmal alles richtig gemacht und ein stabiles, dabei schlankes, System hinbekommen habe.
Nur eins fehlt noch: #Mail
Ich würde gerne wieder zur Konsole wechseln, kann mich aber nicht zwischen #aerc und #neomutt entscheiden. Ersteres hatte ich schon in Betrieb. Zweitens zwar auch schon, bin aber mit der Bedienung nicht zurecht gekommen (was damals durchaus an mangelnder Motivation gelegen haben könnte).
Was empfiehlt mir die #Community ?

@klimperfix I’m very happy with #neomutt but it’s also the only one I’ve tried

So, after years of running Ubuntu as my daily driver, I thought I'd give CachyOS a try before Ubuntu's next LTS release in April. I have to say CachyOS+Gnome desktop is lightning fast! I've much to do but having removed FireFox, changed the default fish shell to zsh, installed & set up NeoMutt, PyRadio & the re-implimentation of 'TUI' (command line app for Mastodon) with 'tooi' (@ihabunek which is awesome!!), things are looking good so far! #cachyos #archlinux #neomutt #tooi #zsh

Anyone got an idea why multiple email threads in neomutt keep reappearing? I archive them, and the next time I sync the inbox, they are back.
I'd even tried archiving the thread (60+ emails) one by one but without avail.
In addition, two emails are completely missing. They are there in the browser but nowhere to be found in neomutt.

I did pay for protonmail and added it to #neomutt. It's a pleasure using it to go through emails, delete, save some as markdown files, save attachments etc. Soon enough I'll reach inbox zero and it's almost a shame because neomutt is so beautiful when there are emails in the inbox. #linux #TUI
My parents' old laptop won't boot with anything in the second RAM slot, maybe I'm doing something wrong. Anyway I switched the existing 1 GB for a 2 GB and installed a new SSD and that made a big difference.

Wasn't too happy about #NeoMutt's IMAP stability anyway, but now it lost an email I've spent an hour writing.
That's it, I'm done, I'll migrate to something else.

Hey #mutt or #neomutt users - What are you using in local bsd mboxes for searching/grepping?
I was using #mairix for 15 years but with debian trixie mairix is not available anymore, and mairix has issues with >2GB folders (It uses 32 bit ptr in its index)
I am having 30+ years in BSD Mboxes summing up to 50GByte+ gzipped compressed bsd mboxes - about 5700 MBoxes (sent/received per month etc)

I try, once more, to lobby for a proper format=flowed support at @protonprivacy

Talking about #neomutt today. Hopefully, it'll be easier to read than it was to write :)

On slow connections, #NeoMutt feels really dated. A lot of things don't show great progress information, sometimes it's doing something without telling me _anything_, and not even redrawing the screen during some (or most?) operations seems just … sorry, amateurish.

So, I love #Thunderbird, but it bogs down my poor old #Linux laptop. I thought I would try a few terminal email clients. Here is how it went:
* #Alpine (new Pine): Connecting to Gmail was hard - even when I had set up application-specific passwords for 2FA. Had to manually edit SMTP settings in .pinerc
* #NeoMutt (new Mutt): required serious manual config to get the sidebar showing and even then CTRL-O would not switch email folders for me
* #aerc: A joy. Sidebar by default. Working key commands. Nice colon menu for commands. Was able to set up multiple gmail accounts with application-specific passwords.

Is there a nice, POSIX-compatible(!) way to use the smaller (or larger) value of two integers in a shell expression(!)?
Something like
$ echo $(min 100 80)
80I know that I can use `if` and `test -lt` or something, but those are statements.
My use case is this: I'm calling an external command from #NeoMutt, and NeoMutt sets $COLUMNS to the width of the terminal. However, I want to limit it to 80 or lower.
e.g. call
my-command -width $(min $COLUMNS 80)

And here's the NeoMutt feature request for OSC 8 in the pager.
-
#html2text (the Python tool, https://alir3z4.github.io/html2text, in Debian as python3-html2text which then provides a "html2markdown" binary) converts HTML into Markdown and (with the right CLI options) does a pretty good job, too.
From there, you can use a good Markdown renderer like lowdown to get an awesome experience – _if_ your terminal supports OSC 8 hyperlinks.
Like, look at this. It still has a few quirks, but for an HTML email in the terminal? It's fucking beautiful.
But no OSC 8 in #NeoMutt. 😔
-
The quest to find the best HTML to text converter for #NeoMutt.
Because the `-dump` option of all text mode browsers seems to be stuck in the 90s, generating plain text only.
But terminals can do so much more these days. Bold, italic, underline, 24-bit color, even clickable links (where the text is _any_ text, not just a URL).
#Pandoc's `-t ansi` indeed supports these links — but NeoMutt's pager doesn't. 😩 Also, there are a lot of horizontal lines in its output, which I don't understand.
-
Awww, #DebianTrixie finally comes with a #NeoMutt version that's recent enough to support bold and italic <3

Trying out #aerc and I want to like it (it has some fancy feature like embedded terminal etc) but there are some weird behaviours that don’t seem quite right. Sorting the way I want seems impossible (whether I do `sort date` or `sort -r date` it always appears to be reverse-chronological, not chronological; `sort from -r date`seems close to what I want but is inexplicable); and threads get reorganised on every delete so if I read through a thread and delete messages as I go, it might suddenly decide that the next message is actually one from a different thread.
I used #mutt back in the day and I see #neomutt has imap support now, so I’ll be giving that a try next.

Is anyone else using Ghostty with Neomutt?
They don't seem to play nicely together, but maybe there's something I can do to address this?
