for my own pocket reform i'm looking for a lightweight email client that is usable for not-super-computer-pros like me and that lets me interact with IMAP directly, i.e. does not need to download my 50000 emails first. aerc does this last part very well, but i do not understand how to use it, and it doesn't seem to accept mouse clicks etc. and doesn't seem to just display HTML emails (which most people outside the terminal-centric computer bubble send nowadays).

@mntmn I think mutt might be an option? It's what I used on my netbook some years ago - mostly because that netboook had a rather small screen, and the terminal was therefore the most usable interface...

Might be a good fit for the Pocket Reform too.

I don't think it has mouse input though.

@soulsource actually weirdly enough aerc _does_ scroll email bodies with the mouse wheel (in my case trackball). just can't click on emails

Follow

@mntmn @soulsource aerc has a setting for mouse support... but it doesn't work perfect (just click, no clixk and drag)
