Not sure if you're saying you want emacs or don't, but...

* You want emacs - https://notmuchmail.org/notmuch-emacs/

* You don't want emacs - https://github.com/pazz/alot (I use this one, it's very nice)

Also Mutt - https://notmuchmail.org/notmuch-mutt/

Thanks for the links!

What I really want is: mutt's UI, but with a SQLite3/PostgreSQL backend, and mutt not to iterate a mailbox when opening it, and an async IMAP client that reconnects as needed.

Similar concept and similar speed, but notmuch is a little more actively developed. I also find the notmuch command line interface a bit easier and the various tools built on top of it to be better. Alot, the terminal UI I mentioned in the parent comment, is almost exactly what I want in a mail program.
