I have been looking for an email client on Linux after being tired of Gmail and Outlook web clients.
I had Thunderbird installed on my system and thought I’d give it a spin. I set up POP for my email accounts and it worked fantastic… For a total of 2 hours, after which I realised that searching in Thunderbird is simply not going to work for me. I need to search by attachment name and sometimes even by text inside attachment and unfortunately Thunderbird can’t do that (I think I tried an extension too but it made the UI super clunky to the point that I couldn’t even understand how to navigate it anymore).
Does Betterbird or any other email client fix this problem? I’m willing to try other options if they are FOSS.
Thanks
mutt or nothing
I learned about mutt ~12 years ago, and it changed my email-interface forever
all mutt, all the time
hows the search fuction in mutt? For eg, if i want to search an email thread from like 3 months ago, does it function well or do I need to open my broswer…
How has your experience been with Mutt? I’ve heard about neomutt from a lot of people but I’m honestly a bit intimidated to move to a completely CLI-based email client especially because it’s another configuration file which I’ll need to be mindful of
I really liked the client but HTML emails are a real pain in the ass.
