- Vim users who manage email through terminal workflows
- Worth noticing
- Drafts are Markdown files with YAML frontmatter; received mail is stored in local SQLite for offline full-text search.
Field notes
The command-line interface includes search, list, show, reply, edit, approval, and send operations; several commands can print JSON for automation. The page says new mail can arrive through IMAP IDLE and user-defined hooks can run commands for matching messages. It lists Homebrew and binary downloads, while noting that the macOS app is currently unsigned.
