When I _am_ in a terminal window, I use Mutt, & for almost precisely the same reasons as Sylpheed.
http://www.mutt.org/

The biggest differences are that Mutt's founding inspiration is ELM, not Outlook Express, & it doesn't even pretend to render HTML mail at all, instead presenting them as file attachments to plain text messages. Mutt is also more extensible, more customizable, & fully keyboard driven.

What do I use for email? When I'm not in a terminal window, I use Sylpheed:

It's light, it's fast, it has keyboard shortcuts for common tasks, it resists do-everything feature creep, & its UI hardly ever changes between versions.

But it doesn't render received HTML mail except as very simplified text, & it won't let you send HTML mail except as a file attachment to plain text mail. This is not a bug, todo, or fixme. This is an incredibly useful & welcome feature.

@chirpbirb Thunderbird has always been the Cinderella stepchild of the Mozilla family. Needing to download, store, index, and search every article of IMAP mail in advance instead of on the user's command is just one more reason why. :<

@mavica_again oh no, i'm sorry. :<

Classical: Using i, j, k, l, etc. as for-loop index variable names.

Magical: Using i, ii, iii, iv, etc. as for-loop index variable names.

Radical: Using item, row, column, and other sensible singular words as for-loop index variable names.

Maniacal: Using alice, bob, cindy, dawn, etc. as for-loop index variable names.

@xssfox The most unexpected pitfall of following furries in any computing field is figuring out whether a specialized word is tech jargon or furry speak.

So, would y'all believe I only just now noticed the Cohost financial implosion news? Day jobs are fun sometimes. Anyway, I'm still paying comfortably out of pocket for this instance in the Mastodon network, and it'll stay that way until I finally get off my rear and put out a tip jar or two for all you good fairy folks.

@nixCraft Because I grew up on dialects of Basic that either limited variable names to 2 characters or ignored name differences after the 2nd character, and "I" meant "index."

The Socorro County Republican Party headquarters is proudly flying three flags today, but none of them are the Red White and Blue of the USA's national ensign.

Instead, one of them is an impostor standing in for the Stars and Stripes, one whose colors ran or surrendered, bisected by the thin blue line of police state authoritarianism, and saying "blue lives matter" as if the Black lives ended by cops didn't.
