Description Bernardo Meurer 2019-07-15 18:28:02 UTC
aerc is an email client that runs in your terminal. It's highly efficient and extensible, perfect for the discerning hacker. 

 Some of its more interesting features include:

* Editing emails in an embedded terminal tmux-style, allowing you to check on incoming emails and reference other threads while you compose your replies

* Render HTML emails with an interactive terminal web browser, highlight patches with diffs, and browse with an embedded less session

* Vim-style keybindings and ex-command system, allowing for powerful automation at a single keystroke

* First-class support for working with git & email

* Open a new tab with a terminal emulator and a shell running for easy access to nearby git repos for parallel work

* Support for multiple accounts, with support for IMAP, Maildir, SMTP, and sendmail transfer protocols

* CalDAV and CardDAV support for synchronizing contacts & calendar events

* Asynchronous IMAP support ensures the UI never gets locked up by a flaky network, as mutt often does

* Efficient network usage - aerc only downloads the information which is necessary to present the UI, making for a snappy and bandwidth-efficient experience

* 100% free and open source software!
