I see some people are really disappointed about Debian packaging a stripped-down version of KeePassXC. But hey, I actually wish there was also a minimal @thunderbird package without integrations of IRC or Matrix etc, just with core email functionality.
@thunderbird I joined Mozilla Connect just to submit this proposal. From what I've seen, submissions on there tend to be lengthy paragraphs lacking in clarity. I've written it in the structured style of Fedora changes, thanks to @Conan_Kudo :P
@triskelion@Conan_Kudo Okay, thanks not only for posting the submission AND for doing it with such an awesome template! (We're sort of a fan of Neal's here!)
@ldelossa Ever since ELM, every time I've tried to "modernize" mail, I've eventually gone back to text mail. Currently using mutt and managed to make it do multiple accounts.
With the creamed crud I receive these days, I think text email is saving me from the worst of the HTML spam.
@yakkoj yup, I'm not optimized to terminal Mail clients. I just find mutt to be not the best UX. The command line is a bit clunky and config syntax is s bit bat shit crazy, in my humble opinion lol.
#Terminal#MUA question: Playing a bit around with #neomutt + #notmuch? Does someone know if there is a way to display and directly edit displayed notmuch tags from neomutt? And a way to display notmuch tags in the pager?
With all that #fediverse effervescence, I just rediscovered #irc with #weechat, and realized that #neomutt also support #usenet servers. Going back to the source in a way.
so, if I understand correctly, usenet is a newsgroup hierarchy that uses nntp as protocol ?

Correct. There are other newsgroups out there that use NNTP, it's just that Usenet is the oldest (est. 1978) and largest. It started as a "poor man's ARPANET."
Usenet has previously been passed over UUCP, NNTP, air-mailed magnetic tapes (yes, really) and x25 data links. So, I thought #ActivityPub would be worth trying next.
@kkarhan back in the uni times I used #pine (or #alpine, I’m not sure) for accessing my university email account, then switched to #eudora. (Al)pine was not bad, but I tried it some time ago and had some problems in configuring. I always wanted to try #mutt so I tried the fork and for the moment I’m quite fine with it. Try a few then choose the one you feel more people will be comfortable with. #mutt really have a ton of options, and they may scare.
I am looking for a solution to my email problem. I need a searchable backup system for all my emails and make room on the servers. Preferrably in a format that's (:gitannex: #gitAnnex) sync friendly (e.g. all just .eml files). A terminal-based Thunderbird alternative would also be nice. I see there's #mbsync#mutt#neomutt#supMail#nmail#alpine and so many more but no concise overview with feature comparison. What would you recommend?
@nobodyinperson neomutt has integration for notmuch for indexing and search.
I store my mail as maildir which is sync-friendly, each mail is its own file.
@nobodyinperson I store my mail locally in a Maildir (these are text files), sync it with mbsync aka isync and read it with neomutt (which is very nice to play with and customize). I heard that there is notmuch for indexing but I didn‘t really need it until not, so can‘t say anything about that.
switched from #neomutt to #aerc and i'm never looking back. the setup process for aerc was so simple and after working out a few kinks it works great on my #pinephone!
@benjaminhollon i'm sure there's a way to configure touch with it, but right now i'm just using the virtual keyboard and a physical keyboard when in convergence/ppkb
@RyunoKi
I know for sure, you can provide a command for password retreiving with OfflineIMAP (and isync, which I use). I bet there is a method for other tools as well, I just didn't use them. If you are interested in details, I suggest you check ArchWiki for each of those tools.
