    farrokhi avatar farrokhi 1 year ago | link | on: What email client do you use?

    Mailmate on Mac (Configured to prefer plaintext over HTML)

    But I prefer (and extensively use) mutt with following configurations:

    • A lot of custom key bindings
    • Sidebar patch
    • mbsync for imap syncing (Maildir + multiple accounts)
    • msmtp for outbound
    • mu for indexing and search + keybinding in mutt
    • Vim as text editor (+ spell checking and proper line brreaking)
    • w3m or links to decode html - I am slightly happier with how w3m decodes tables
    • gnupg

      Why would one trust a (Microsoft owned) company that has history of blocking user’s out of their repositories, because of their nationality?

        Gitlab does the same. If you don’t want to be subject to US sanctions, then you’ll have to use a service hosted outside of the US: https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2018/07/19/gcp-move-update/

          I stopped trusting and relying on third-party services for critical stuff long ago (git/email/storage/etc) and self-host all these.
