I still use mutt on a daily basis.

Being able to select emails using regular expressions is super useful.

IMAPFilter is also simple and powerful to quickly sort email.

Yes! I use mutt for searching, tagging, thread operations (splitting,appending etc.), bouncing, attaching other mails, deleting attachments, openpgp (personal), smime (at work), and it works with IMAP out of the box.

I am also able to integrate (a locally hosted) LanguageTool to check the grammar in the editor.

The only issue is to write emails with embedded images. But personally I don't like such emails for occupying the space of the mailbox.

What do you use to fetch email? mbsync keeps messing up the UID of emails with gmail.

Just Mutt's IMAP support.

Personnaly, I use https://gitlab.com/shackra/goimapnotify , you can add a `~/.config/imapnotify/{{ youremailaddresshere }}.yaml` config file for each of your email addresses and enable and start it as a systemd service with `systemctl --user enable ---now goimapnotify@{{ youremailaddresshere }}.service`

Here is and example of a config file for a gmail address :

```

  host: imap.gmail.com
  port: 993
  tls: true
  tlsOptions:
    rejectUnauthorized: false
  username: {{ youremailaddresshere }}
  password: ''
  passwordCMD: pass mw/{{ youremailaddresshere }} | head -n1
  onNewMail: mailsync {{ youremailaddresshere }} | while read OUTPUT; do notify-send "" "$OUTPUT"; done
  onNewMailPost: ''
  onDeletedMail: ''
  onDeletedMailPost: ''
  boxes:
    - INBOX

```

> format

indent it with 2+ spaces

Thanks!

> tlsOptions:

> rejectUnauthorized: false

Means trust any cert?

Yes, thanks for pointing it out, it should be true.

I took it from my config which I did a long time ago and I guess I didn't pay attention enough when doing it, my bad !

offlineimap does the job for me I use it with Gmail and owa (trough davmail)
