I was quite excited by Drew Devault's aerc client. I have been migrating away from Google and this is a handy ability (which thunderbird has). Mutt typically had issues with multiple accounts and moving emails between the two. However can we really do better than Mutt. I looked at this video about mutt which made me think about making a switch. I couldn't agree more, and for the same reasons you've mentioned I end up coming back to Thunderbird, even though I'd like a TUI client. I sometimes feel that alpine/pine doesn't get as much love as other TUI email clients. It has really really good documentation available in a context sensitive manner. It has working support for signing and encrypting messages, decent support of reply templates. It supports standard features such as choosing your own editor to compose emails (default is nano, which is a successor of pico, which was the editor used by pine), filtering a message to a program (for example, to git apply patch), filter a message before sending, multiple ways to display threading, and so on. You can view html emails using w3m or lynx or whatever. The keybindings are relatively simple (n for next and p for previous) but the arrow keys and mouse also work. It had a single maintainer who disappeared, someone else took over who disappeared, and now there is a new maintainer. I have 4 email accounts and I can seamlessly move messages between them. I get a bell on my terminal when a new email comes and my desktop environment (i3m) shows a highlighted xterm and a highlighted workspace so that I know that I have a new message. I have been using alpine (re-alpine before that and alpine before that and pine before that) for about 20 years and it ticks most of your check boxes: Maybe I should fork Mailspring, strip out the account garbage and just tolerate Electron, but that'd create a whole bunch of maintenance work I just can't take on right now. Which is beginning to seem rather silly, but it's still my experience. Overall when I want my mail client to "just work" I've found them to be piss poor compared to Thunderbird. HTML mail is used widely now as most people use webmail and just doesn't map well to console applications Archaic keybindings, or perhaps I'm just too lazy to learn them
Single maintainer that could disappear at any time The TUI clients I've looked at all seem to suffer from some mix of: I'm willing to pay, someone please give me a decent cross platform alternative with a GUI, ideally a proper, non-electron one. Maybe I'm just going to be stuck with eM Client or Outlook and using RDP to check my email. Here I sit with 7 accounts in Thunderbird. I didn't think this was a big ask but I guess now that most people just use a single Gmail account the market for such things is dwindling. right up until it asked me to make an account for use with my own IMAP servers - no thanks.
#Thunderbird vs mailspring windows#
I was having some search issues the other day and I looked at alternatives - the options were basically Outlook, Claws Mail which is ugly as sin, eM Client which is Windows only and Mailspring which actually looked pretty good. I waas also able to do this in mailspring.I'm still using Thunderbird, which is barely maintained for a decent standalone IMAP client - it's beginning to feel pretty ridiculous. I can send from an alias in gmail using the mailgum smtp server and username.
Username: thunderbird "fails to find the settings for this email account". I also tried setting up a new account with the following settings but this isn't worki protocol: imap In thunderbird, I tried adding an alias to my gmail account but all email sent from the alias ends up in spam because of the mismatch between sender and From field. Username: am currently switching from mailspring to thunderbird because of a mailspring bug (see here). Mailgun config catch_all() Priority: settings: I've replace my custom domain name with Namecheap nameservers config (domain name provider) bayan.ns.Ĭloudflare DNS Type Name Content Proxy status Mailgun forwards received mail to my gmail address. I've configured the DNS nameservers to point to cloudflare, and cloudflare has the MX & TXT records setup to use mailgun for sending and receiving mail. I would like to be able to receive and send mail from my custom domain in thunderbird.
