What problem does it solve?
It solves the need to list, read, search, and send emails quickly without switching between a full email client UI and command line tools.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Account-aware IMAP/SMTP email operations: list folders and messages, read and export email content, and manage flags and organization.
- Fast CLI workflows for search and messaging: search by sender/subject, reply, reply-all, and forward directly from the terminal.
- Safe, configurable message sending: compose and send new messages interactively or via stdin/templates, including rich MIME composition using MML.
Use case: you receive important updates in multiple mailboxes and want to triage and archive them by searching for keywords, reading specific messages, and moving them to the right folders without leaving your shell.
