    Another 2 text email clients with ncurses console interface you might want to check are not much and sup.

    Not much

    Not much mail” is a fast, powerful, global-search and tag-based email system that you can use in your Linux text editors or terminal. Its development was highly influenced by Sup, and it offers performance enhancement to several Sup features.

    It is not much of an email client, therefore, it does not receive emails or send messages but simply allows users to search quickly through a collection of emails.

    Not much has the following notable features:

    1. Does not support IMAP or POP3 protocols
    2. No mail composer
    3. Supports tags and fast search
    4. No user interface
    5. Uses Xapian to perform its major task, hence “not much”
    6. Supports several command-line utilities, email clients and wrappers for Emacs, vim text editors
    7. Also supports Mutt integration script

     

    Sup

    Sup is a console-based email client that enables users to deal with a lot of email. When you run Sup, it presents a list of threads with multiple tags attached, each thread is a hierarchical assortment of messages.
