Sup is a console-based email client for people with a lot of email.
Features:
Current limitations:
Sup does in general not play nicely with other mail clients, not all changes can be synced back to the mail source. Refer to Maildir Syncback in the wiki for this recently included feature. Maildir Syncback allows you to sync back flag changes in messages and to write messages to maildir sources.
Unix-centrism in MIME attachment handling and in sendmail invocation.
Please report bugs to the GitHub issue tracker.
Sup is a mature, production-quality mail client. The maintainers are also long-term users, and mainly focus on preserving the current feature set. Pull requests are very welcome, especially to fix bugs or improve compatibility, however pull requests for major new features are unlikely to be merged.
If Sup is missing a feature you are interested in, it might be possible to accomplish using Sup's powerful hooks mechanism. Otherwise, here are some alternatives to consider:
Notmuch was inspired by Sup. There are a wide variety of Notmuch clients available. The most similar to Sup's look-and-feel is Alot — also a curses-based front end. Alot even ships with a built-in Sup theme!
mu / mu4e. Like Sup, a search-based email back end, and also implemented using Xapian. The emacs-based front end is quite different.
